Welcome to my web page where you will find links to my short CV, to my current research activities, and to some of my published research.
My research interests are broadly in applied microeconomic theory, with a special focus on international trade, industrial organisation, multinational firm behavior and foreign direct investment.
I received my Ph.D. degree in Economics from the University of Otago (New Zealand). Before Otago, I was at METU (Turkey), where I completed M.Sc. and Ph.D. coursework in Economics.
I am Associate Professor of Economics, at the University of Canterbury (UC), New Zealand. Before having joined UC, I was an Associate Professor at METU (2015-2019), and Assistant Professor at the University of Tübingen, Germany (2011-2015) and at the University of Würzburg, Germany (2009-2011).
I am currently serving as Editor-in-Chief of New Zealand Economics Papers (NZEP), and Council Member of New Zealand Association of Economists (NZAE).
I am also one of the co-organisers of the Australasian Trade Workshop and one of the co-founders / co-organisers of the PhD Summer Institute in International Trade & Industrial Organisation.
