Sarpca investigates how market structures in educational choice systems affect outcomes through theoretical, computational, and empirical methods. His research analyzes peer effects, price discrimination, voucher programs, and residential sorting due to school quality, focusing on income-ability dynamics in educational equity and efficiency.
His 15 most recent publications (2023-2006) consistently explore higher education markets and K-12 school choice systems. Dominant themes include university market power, peer effects in high schools, housing-education welfare linkages, and voucher policy impacts. Methodologically, he integrates industrial organization theory with econometric analysis to evaluate real-world educational systems.
Funded by TUBITAK (Turkey) and IDEXLyon (France), Sarpca's research examines competition and policy design in education. As Graduate School Director, he oversees graduate programs though specific advisees aren't listed. He holds additional affiliations including CESifo Research Fellow status.
