Oda is a quantitative political economist whose research explores the behaviour of political elites, with a particular interest in how parties and electoral institutions shape patterns of representation. Methodologically, she uses natural language processing (text-as-data), often in combination with methods for causal inference (e.g., Difference-in-Differences, Regression Discontinuity). She also has projects on climate politics and historical political economy.
