I am a professor of economics at Yildiz Technical University in Istanbul, Turkey. My research interests include applied economics, econometrics, time series analysis, and applied machine learning. While I use classical statistical inference procedures in most of my research, I am also interested in machine learning applications as well as Bayesian methodology. I am currently working on the relationship between information technology and firm performance, determinants of firm productivity, energy efficiency and firm performance, and spatial market linkages. I regularly teach Econometrics I and Econometrics II to economics majors and Advanced Econometrics to PhD students.
