Alper Cenesiz

Alper Cenesiz serves as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Economics at Nottingham Business School, Nottingham Trent University, and holds a research fellowship at the Center for Economics and Finance, University of Porto.

He earned his PhD in Economics from Christian-Albrechts-Universitaet zu Kiel. His research expertise spans labor economics, macroeconomics, and health economics with emphasis on labor market dynamics, business cycles, and pandemic modeling. Key contributions include analyzing job search effort cyclicality in matching models and the economic implications of waning immunity during the COVID-19 pandemic.

His publication analysis reveals a strong interdisciplinary trajectory, increasingly integrating health economics with macroeconomic modeling. The 2022 Canadian Journal of Economics paper on waning immunity demonstrated how immunity decay affects long-term pandemic management, providing critical insights for policymakers during vaccine development phases.

Dr. Cenesiz actively contributes to the Applied Economics and Policy research group at Nottingham Business School and maintains a productive collaboration with the University of Porto's research center, focusing on international economic policy frameworks.
