#aycatekinkoru and @maattar.bsky.social will soon publish a joint study on the relative welfare loss of Turkey's grand monetary policy experiment. The authors estimate that CPI inflation would have hovered around 20% without the 2021 rate cuts. Looking forward to the full text.

Have you ever heard the greatest monetary policy experiment of Türkiye?? Starting in September 2021, CBRT (i.e., Turkish central bank) decreased the policy rate when CPI inflation was way above its official target.

30 years after arriving in the US, I just resigned from Northwestern and we sold our house.

We are an American family, I became a citizen in 2014, and until recently did not expect to ever leave. But now, this no longer feels like the right place to raise a family and pursue a research career.

Paper on the post-2008 pronatalist rhetoric in Türkiye is now published at the Turkish Journal of Population Studies. It shows that post-2008 pronatalist rhetoric did not create a causal effect on actual fertility.

Türkiye'de 2008-sonrası döneme damga vuran pronatalist söylem hakkındaki makalem Nüfusbilim Dergisi'nde yayınlandı. Makale pronatalist söylemin gerçekleşen doğurganlık üzerinde herhangi bir nedensel etkisi olmadığını gösteriyor.

Somebody at @ajpseditor.bsky.social has a great sense of humor, having accepted our paper on the “dictator’s dilemma” the very day that Bashar al-Assad fled Syria.

Joint with @luozhaotian.bsky.social, @antonshirikov.bsky.social, and Dmitriy Vorobyev.
