Didac Queralt 

Welcome! I’m an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at Yale University and I study the historical origins of state capacity with a focus on international economic integration. 

 

Currently, I am working on a book-length project on the consequences of foreign aid on state capacity during and after colonial rule.

​

Earlier, I studied the consequences of external debt for state capacity and limited government. The book, titled Pawned States: State Building in the Era of International Finance, was published with Princeton University Press in 2022. 

You can learn more about the book here. 

​

In my article-based dissertation, I examined the connection between international trade and fiscal capacity.
