Assistant Professor of Economics

Kadir Has University

I am a member of Economics Department of Kadir Has University. My current research focuses the regional inequalities, industry location and railroads during the twentieth century. Besides, I am working with World Wildlife Fund-Turkey on a project regarding the drivers of the farmer’s adoption of conservative agriculture techniques. I am also consulting World Bank with a project on labor market participation and entrepreneurship of Syrian migrants.

I am interested in the state-of-the-art computational methods in statistical programming, data visualization, text mining and spatial analysis.
