Research Focus: Dr. DİKMEN's scholarship spans four interconnected domains. In Public Budgeting, he investigates social budgeting frameworks, legislative oversight mechanisms, and child-friendly fiscal policies. His work on Public Financial Management examines audit practices, fiscal transparency metrics, and independent fiscal institutions. Regarding Tax Theory, he analyzes environmental taxation systems, historical tax evolution, and comparative tax policy across jurisdictions. Additionally, his research in Environmental Economics explores sustainable development finance and green public procurement strategies within the EU. This multidisciplinary approach bridges historical perspectives with contemporary fiscal challenges.

Publication Trends: Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals consistent engagement with fiscal governance issues. Approximately 40% focus on environmental dimensions of public finance (taxation, auditing, procurement), while 30% examine historical aspects of budgeting and taxation. The remaining publications address core public financial management topics including legislative oversight, transparency, and audit effectiveness. His work demonstrates increasing international collaboration, particularly with Australian institutions as evidenced by his 2022-2023 Queensland University of Technology research project on patriotism and tax compliance.
