Ulaş Karakoç

I am a member of Economics Department of Kadir Has University. My current research focuses on (i) the regional inequalities, industry location and railroads during the twentieth century in Turkey, (ii) the drivers of the farmer’s adoption of conservative agriculture techniques (in cooperation with WWF-Turkey). I am also consulting World Bank with a project on labor market participation and entrepreneurship of Syrian migrants.
