Her research focuses on American politics, judicial politics, and applied game theory, particularly examining interactions between the U.S. Supreme Court and Courts of Appeals. She holds an office in 7767 Haven Hall.
Her research interests include judicial behavior, legal innovation, and the strategic dynamics within the U.S. court system. Key topics include Supreme Court policy agenda-setting, ideological influences on judicial decisions, and legal uniformity across federal courts. Methodologically, she employs game theory to model judicial interactions and decision-making processes.
Beim’s work has been published in top journals like the American Journal of Political Science and Journal of Politics. Her recent articles analyze topics ranging from appellate court panel effects on death penalty outcomes to the signaling mechanisms in en banc review processes. Notably, she explores how legal actors like judges and lawyers strategically shape judicial outcomes through procedural and ideological tactics.
