Prof. Dr. Hasan Tekgüç

I have obtained my bachelor’s degree from Boğaziçi University in 2000 and my PhD in Economics from University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2010. My main fields of interest are development and labor economics. My studies in development field are focused on alternative poverty measures, impact of taxes and social spending on poverty and inequality, and correcting downward bias in inequalitty estimates. In the field of labor economics, my research is focused on gender wage gap, job transition, minimum wage and the impact of Syrian migrants on natives' employment in Turkey. Some of my work is published in Review of Development Economics, Public Choice, Feminist Economics, ILR Review, International Journal of Forecasting, Mediterranean Politics, IZA Journal of Labor Policy, International Journal of Educational Development, South European Society and Politics, New Perspectives on Turkey, Review of Economics of the Household, and Agribusiness. Two of my projects were funded by The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK). Since June 2022, I am an associate editor at Feminist Economics.
