I received my Ph.D. in Economics from the Middle East Technical University (METU) in 2016. I worked as a research & teaching assistant in the Department of Economics at METU before joining the Economic and Social Research Institute (Ireland) in October 2017. My research areas include the fields of income distribution, social policies, labor economics, climate change, migration, and CGE modeling. My primary duty in my current role is developing an economy-environment-energy CGE model for Ireland. Besides, my research focuses on the effects of the Syrian refugees on the Turkish economy, the impact of non-uniform population growth rates across household groups in a CGE setting, and the relation between social transfers and female labor force participation in Turkey.
