Before joining the School, he was a Postdoctoral researcher at the Central European University (CEU), Center for Policy Studies in Budapest, Hungary.

Research Interest
Dragos is particularly interested in studying labour market reforms and their consequences for the economy and individuals. His work combines quantitative large-n analyses with fine grained in depth comparative historical narratives. Generally, he uses both macro-level traditional institutionalist theories as well as actor-centred and behavioural approaches that take into account individual responses to policy changes. He is also interested in industrial relations and the factors that account for the trade union power at the local and national levels.
