PhD Candidate in EconomicsBerlin School of Economics, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin
I am a PhD candidate in Economics at the Berlin School of Economics and Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, and a member of the CRC TRR 190 “Rationality and Competition”.
I am interested in social norms and how they shape behavior.
Before my PhD, I completed an MSc in Economics at Istanbul Bilgi University and a BA in Economics at Galatasaray University and Sorbonne University.
