| Currently serving as the department chair, Prof.
Yeldan received his Ph.D. from University of Minnesota, USA, and joined
the Department of Economics at Bilkent in 1988. A recent survey conducted
by the European Economic Association ranked Prof. Yeldan among the
most productive economists in the world as measured by the number
of pages in Social Science Citation Index-listed journals. In 1994,
he was a visiting scholar at the University of Minnesota where he
taught Applied General Equilibrium Analysis. He later visited International
Food Policy Research Institute, Washington, D.C. and worked as a research
associate. Dr. Yeldan's recent work focuses on empirical, dynamic
general equilibrium models of the Turkish economy, and applications
of endogenous growth systems. He is a fellow of Economic Research
Forum (ERF) and was a recipient of Young Scientist Award of Turkish
Academy of Sciences (TÜBA) in 1998.
