Bulent Guler serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Economics within Indiana University Bloomington's College of Arts and Sciences. His research profile centers on quantitative macroeconomic and labor market analysis, with office location in Wylie Hall 254 and contact via bguler@iu.edu.
His educational foundation includes:
- Ph.D. in Economics from University of Texas, Austin (2009)
- M.A. in Economics from University of Rochester
- B.S. in Industrial Engineering and M.A. in Economics from Bilkent University, Turkey
Professor Guler's research program exhibits two distinct yet interconnected strands: First, he investigates housing and mortgage market dynamics, particularly how information technology innovations reshape homeownership rates, foreclosure patterns, and mortgage terms. Second, he examines labor market frictions through the lens of dual-income households, analyzing how couples navigate joint job-search and residential mobility decisions compared to single-searcher scenarios. This dual focus reveals sophisticated modeling of household decision-making under economic constraints.
Analysis of his 2012-2025 publication record shows evolving research trajectories: While maintaining core interests in housing and labor markets, his recent work expands into sovereign debt transparency, criminal justice economics, and experimental asset market design. His interdisciplinary approach bridges macroeconomic theory with empirical labor studies, frequently appearing in journals spanning monetary economics, finance, and public policy domains.
No scientific awards were referenced in the source materials.
Though specific advisees and grant details remain unmentioned, his prolific collaboration pattern (evident in 25+ co-authored works) suggests active mentorship of graduate researchers and participation in funded projects. His international educational background and Turkish origins likely inform his cross-cultural perspective on economic phenomena.
