I am a Professor at the Université de Montréal, where I read on comparative and international political economy. I am particularly interested in the politics of international taxation and foreign direct investment, but I have also worked on monetary policy, foreign aid, economic voting, and research methods.
Here’s a silly picture of me with Chip, in case you need to spot me in the hotel lobby at some conference: vincent.jpg. And here’s how I pronounce my weird hyphenated last name: arel-bundock.mp3 (“Arel” as in “barrel”; “Bundock” as in “bun” + “duck”).
I write a lot of code, am a fan of Open Source Software, and believe that researchers should cite the software they use.
My academic articles and books can be downloaded from the research page and are listed on my CV. Recent highlights include:
- Arel-Bundock, Briggs, Doucouliagos, Aviña Mendoza, and Stanley. Forthcoming. Quantitative political science research is greatly underpowered. Journal of Politics
- Arel-Bundock, Pelc. Forthcoming. Buy-in for buyouts: attitudes toward compensation for reforms. Journal of Politics.
- Arel-Bundock, Blais. 2023. Where Should Multinationals Pay Taxes? International Studies Quarterly.
- Arel-Bundock, Greifer, Heiss. 2024. How to interpret statistical models using marginal effects in R and Python. Journal of Statistical Software.
Some older papers I still find useful:
- Arel-Bundock. 2017. The Unintended Consequences of Bilateralism: Treaty Shopping and International Tax Policy. International Organization.
- Arel-Bundock, Pelc. 2019. When Can Multiple Imputation Improve Regression Estimates? Political Analysis.
- Arel-Bundock, Peinhardt, Pond. 2020. Political risk insurance: a new firm-level dataset. Journal of Conflict Resolution.
