Biography

I am a doctoral candidate at the University of St. Gallen (HSG). My PhD is funded by the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology (Eawag). I am affiliated with the Swiss Institute for International Economics and Applied Economic Research (SIAW) at HSG. I hold a B.Sc. in Management (Finance specialization) and an M.A. in Economics from Bilkent University, Turkey, as well as an M.S. in Economics and a minor in Mathematics from the University of North Texas, United States.

My research lies at the intersection of environmental and behavioral economics. My dissertation project studies consumers’ demand for carbon-neutral products, focusing on the private provision of a global public good in the context of climate change mitigation. Methodologically, I use a meta-analysis, quasi-experimental approaches, and a stated preference survey.
