His research centers on how kinship structures and marriage systems shape economic outcomes and psychological traits across societies. He demonstrates that looser kinship networks correlate with higher economic development and individualistic psychology, particularly examining Western Europe's medieval transition. His methodology combines econometric analysis with experimental approaches, revealing how patriarchal societies maintain kin marriage under egalitarian inheritance laws. Publications in Science and Journal of Development Economics highlight these cross-disciplinary insights.
