Ezgi Özsöğüt

I am an applied economist and currently an affiliate professor at ESCP Business School in Paris. I am also a research fellow at the Galatasaray University Economic Research Center (GIAM).

I hold a Ph.D. in Economics from the Paris School of Economics and Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University. Over the past decade, I have worked as a researcher at the OECD, the Bank of England, and the European Investment Bank and have taught at ESCP Business School, Sciences Po and İzmir University of Economics.

My current research focuses on economic modeling with heterogeneity.  In my early work as a Ph.D. candidate, I examined how explicitly accounting for income and wealth inequality matters for macroeconomic modeling and the resulting policy implications.  Through my research and my time at the OECD, I came to see that understanding heterogeneity across individuals and economic outcomes often requires tools that allow the data to speak beyond purely theoretical assumptions.  This conviction led me to engage more deeply with applied and, more recently, data based methods. Today, my work builds on this combination of theory and data driven empirical analysis, applied to questions including inequality, development, and macroeconomic stability.
