معرفی
Duha T. Altindag is an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics at Auburn University. He holds a Ph.D. and M.S. in Economics from Louisiana State University and a B.A. in Business Administration from Bogazici University. His research integrates applied econometrics with policy analysis, focusing on labor markets, education, health, and crime.
Research Interests: Dr. Altindag's work spans labor economics (joblessness consequences, workforce dynamics), health economics (environmental impacts on health, healthcare management), education policy (online learning efficacy, school nutrition programs), and political economy (election administration, legislative behavior). His interdisciplinary approach often leverages large-scale datasets to evaluate real-world policy impacts.
Publication Trends: Recent articles emphasize education policy (e.g., universal school lunch effects, COVID-19's impact on universities) and labor markets (e.g., nuclear plant employment, managerial turnover). Earlier work established foundations in crime-tourism linkages and subjective well-being. Methodologically, studies consistently employ quasi-experimental designs to infer causality.
