Özge Öner serves as Associate Professor in Spatial Economics and Real Estate at the University of Cambridge's Department of Land Economy and holds a Fellowship at Sidney Sussex College, where she additionally serves as Vice Master and Director of Studies. Her institutional affiliations extend to research fellowships at Stockholm's Institute of Retail Economics and Jönköping's Centre for Entrepreneurship and Spatial Economics (CEnSE). Her academic foundation includes a 2014 PhD in Economics with specialization in Urban and Regional Economics from Jönköping International Business School, complemented by doctoral research at the University of Illinois' Regional Economics Applications Laboratory (REAL). Prior academic appointments include Assistant Professor at Jönköping International Business School and Researcher at Stockholm's Research Institute of Industrial Economics (IFN). Research Interests: Öner's scholarly work critically examines migration dynamics, labor mobility patterns, micro-geographic segregation mechanisms, ethnic enclave formation, retail/service geography, urban amenity distribution, entrepreneurial geography, and political spatial organization. Her methodological approach heavily leverages geocoded register data and spatial econometric techniques to investigate how geographic context shapes economic behavior, with particular emphasis on Swedish and European urban systems. This interdisciplinary framework bridges spatial economics, economic geography, and migration studies through rigorous quantitative analysis of neighborhood-level phenomena. Publication Trends: Her recent output (2023-2025) demonstrates evolving focus toward infrastructure-impact analysis (tramway effects on commercial vitality), refugee labor market integration pathways, and micro-scale retail/ethnic enclave dynamics. Methodologically, she increasingly employs synthetic control approaches and granular geospatial data to isolate causal mechanisms in urban economic processes, while maintaining strong connections to policy-relevant questions about segregation, integration, and commercial geography. Scientific Awards: Handelsbanken Wallander postdoctoral scholarship (2015) Young Investigator Award in Italy (2018) Young Researcher Award in Sweden (2019) from the Swedish Entrepreneurship Forum Advising and Public Engagement: As Director of Studies at Sidney Sussex College, Öner oversees academic progression for undergraduate students. She actively translates research into public discourse through monthly columns in Svenska Dagbladet (The Swedish Daily News), where she analyzes contemporary socioeconomic issues through her spatial economics lens. While specific doctoral advisees aren't documented in source materials, her leadership roles indicate significant mentoring responsibilities. Research Networks: Öner maintains active collaboration through dual research fellowships: at Stockholm's Handelns Forskninginstitut (Institute of Retail Economics) where she examines commercial geography, and at Jönköping's CEnSE focusing on spatial entrepreneurship patterns. These positions facilitate cross-institutional research on retail dynamics, migration geography, and urban economic structures using Scandinavian longitudinal datasets.
