Greg Robinson studies political institutions in both the American and comparative contexts. His research in American Politics has focused on two areas: partisan theories of congressional organization, and the consequences of political ambition for legislative organization. His comparative research has largely focused on advanced industrial democracies, with a particular focus on the wide-ranging consequences of electoral systems. His research has been published in The Journal of Politics.
His current research projects include an analysis of mid-1970s cloture reform in the U.S. Senate, an argument for a new perspective on agenda politics in legislatures based on simulated roll call votes, a theoretical demonstration of the inferential pitfalls of spatially finite agendas, and a larger project using agent-based modeling to show (1) the effect of assortative mating on the relationship between wealth and health and (2) the effect of long-run public policy choices on assortative mating and the resulting inequalities of wealth and health.
Professor Robinson teaches courses in American politics, including courses in legislative politics and in positive political theory, as well as courses in political methodology. He joined the Binghamton faculty in 2007.
