Sergi Ferrer

 Welcome to my website!

I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB). I am also research fellow at the Democracy, Elections and Citizenship (DEC) research group, and the ERC Starting Grant project "DEMOTRADEOFF", which analyzes democratic trade-offs and how these might fuel political discontent. 

I completed a PhD in Political Science at the University of Barcelona in 2022. Since I started my academic journey, I have been visiting researcher at the Quality of Government Institute, University of Gothenburg (Fall 2021) and visiting fellow at the Mannheim Center for European Social Research (MZES, May 2024), and Assistant Professor of Political Science at the Open University of Catalonia (UOC). 

My main research interests include political behavior, democratic attitudes, and electoral accountability, with a particular focus on causal identification and research methods. My research has been published at Comparative Political Studies, the European Journal of Political Research and Party Politics, among others.
