About Me

I am a PhD candidate in Economics at King’s College London.

My research focuses on the role of large firms in the transmission of shocks and spillovers within production networks. Using novel firm-level input-output data, I study how disruptions spread through the economy, with the aim of providing valuable insights for economic policy.

Before joining King’s, I worked as a policy analyst at the OECD and as a research associate at INSEAD. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Political Sciences with a regional focus on the Middle East and the Mediterranean, and a master’s degree in Economics and Public Policy, both from Sciences Po Paris.

My primary research interests include public, urban, and input-output economics, with a particular focus on trade, where I use microdata to support evidence-based policymaking.

My Research

My current research interests lie in the dynamics of shock transmission and spillovers within the Turkish production network, with a particular focus on the pivotal role of large firms.

My doctoral thesis, structured into three comprehensive essays, delves into supply chain, financial and regulatory, and technological and informational shocks.

A key innovation of my research is the development of a monthly firm-level input-output matrix for Turkey, offering unprecedented granularity in tracing goods and services flows among industries.

This bottom-up approach not only enriches existing literature but also provides valuable insights for policymakers, emphasizing the necessity of tailored strategies to enhance economic resilience and stability.
