Welcome to my website, I am a labour economist working at the ILO Office for Türkiye where I am currently studying the impact of the February 2023
earthquakes on the labour market of the affected areas.
Previous work in Ankara includes a follow up of the pandemic, with the latest update containing the impact of the anti-COVID19 measures on hours worked during 2021 at the
national, regional and sectoral level thanks to a nowcasting model based on Google mobility data. This report was part of a series of research briefs focused on the pandemic
effects. Other briefs contained initial ILO estimates on employment losses in Turkey (December update), on the impact on hours worked (January
update) and on the impact of the second wave on hours worked (March update).
My work in Türkiye also covered the preparation of a report for the ILO on the working conditions of Syrian refugees in Turkey. The methodology I developed to identify refugees in
the microdata was published in the IZA Journal of Development and Migration while the analysis on Syrian
refugees' working conditions can be found here.
