Ozan Kurt is an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics at Yeditepe University's Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences, where he has served since 2012, advancing from Lecturer to his current rank in 2024. His international academic background includes positions at Universite Paris 13 and St John's College Paris.
His educational qualifications include:
- PhD in Economics from Université Paris-Nord (2010-2016) with dissertation on Post-Keynesian income distribution models
- Master's in Economics from Boğaziçi University (2007-2010) focusing on Turkish voter behavior
- Bachelor's in Industrial Engineering from Boğaziçi University (2002-2007)
Dr. Kurt's research centers on Post-Keynesian macroeconomics, specializing in empirical analyses of income distribution, capacity utilization, and growth dynamics. He develops econometric models to examine demand-led growth mechanisms in developing economies, with particular emphasis on functional income shares, capital accumulation, and productivity across Turkey, Italy, South Korea, Thailand, and China. His methodological approach bridges theoretical Post-Keynesian frameworks with country-specific empirical validation.
His publication trajectory (2016-2024) demonstrates consistent application of Kaleckian models across diverse national contexts, evolving from single-country studies toward comparative analyses. Recent work increasingly focuses on Turkish macroeconomic dynamics while maintaining a global perspective, with sophisticated econometric techniques examining interest rate effects, import dependencies, and debt-wealth interactions within demand-driven growth frameworks.
His scientific recognition includes:
- Multiple Akademik Yayın Teşvik (Academic Publication Incentives) from Turkish authorities
- TÜBİTAK's Yayın Teşvik (UBYT) award
At Yeditepe University, Dr. Kurt supervises graduate theses and undergraduate projects while teaching core courses including Monetary Economics, Macroeconomics, and Economics for Engineers across English and French programs. His administrative service includes membership on the university's Quality Committee since 2019, supporting institutional academic standards development.
