About me

My name is Celâl and I am a social sciences researcher in macroeconomics, political economy, political science and survey data analysis. I specialize in the analysis of macroeconomic dynamics, socio-political expectations/preferences and political attitudes. I have a background in economics, political economy and economic history as well as in survey data analysis and statistical programming with R, SPSS and Stata. My field of interest concerns the analysis of institutional change of contemporary Western socio-economic models. I am also interested in the analysis of demand and productivity regimes from a post-Keynesian perspective; in the transformation of political cleavages; and in comparative politics/political economy.

I am actively looking for job opportunities in research and/or teaching so do not hesitate to have a look to my CV, to my current research projects, or to my blog posts, where I publish stuff related to social sciences, statistical programming and my research. You can have a look to my master’s thesis here, which analyzes institutional change in Switzerland by exploring the political demands of Swiss citizen since the 80s and by offering a clustering analysis of the Swiss social blocs in the 90s.
