George's academic work is at the intersection of political economy and behavioural science. His research primarily focuses on the foundations of democracy: how democratic institutions function, how citizens interact with them and how they can be improved. He looks at the electoral cycle through four essential angles: i) the factors that affect citizens’ participation, ii) those that shape their preferences, iii) the effect of elections on policies and welfare, and iv) collective decision making when institutions fail.
