Emrehan Aktuğ is an Assistant Professor of Economics at Sabancı University. He received his PhD in Economics from the University of Texas at Austin in 2022, after completing an MA in Economics at Boğaziçi University and a BSc in Electronics Engineering at Sabancı University. His research is in macroeconomics, monetary economics, and empirical macro-finance, with a particular focus on expectations, firm behavior, and the transmission of macroeconomic shocks. Much of his work examines how inflation, monetary policy, and financial conditions shape the decisions of firms and households, especially in high-inflation environments. His recent research covers topics such as inflation expectations, credit and borrowing decisions, household spending, uncertainty, oil price shocks, and political prediction markets. More broadly, his work combines micro-level data and empirical methods to study questions that are central to monetary policy and the macroeconomic challenges faced by emerging economies.
