Layna Mosley

[1] In 1999, Mosley became the Thomas J. and Robert T. Rolfs Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Notre Dame.

[8] In Global Capital and National Governments, Mosley employs a variety of empirical approaches, including interviews with more than 64[9] fund managers in New York, London and Frankfurt,[10] as well as archival research, and large quantitative cross-national analyses.

Using cases across Africa, Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East, Mosley argues that one central determinant of labor rights is a firm's decision to either control production directly or to use subcontractors.

[13] Mosley tests these ideas with a dataset that covers almost 200 countries from 1985 to 2002, containing instances of both practical and legal labor rights violations.

[1] Mosley has been interviewed, or her work has been cited, in media outlets including The New York Times,[15] The Washington Post,[16] and PolitiFact.

[19] The three won the same prize again in 2011 for their paper "Contingent Convergence (or Divergence): Unpacking the Linkages between Labor Rights and Foreign Direct Investment".
