Kuzey Yilmaz is one of two new Turkish education economists we could win over for the collaboration in our network. Yilmaz is Assistant Professor at the Depatment of Economics of Koç University Istanbul. He holds a Ph.D. and a M.A. in Economics from the University of Rochester and a M.A. in Economic from Bilkent University of Ankara in Turkey. From 2000-2002 he was a Visiting Fellow at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University. His major research interests concentrate on the economics of education with a theoretical focus. In several projects he has worked together with our external advisor Eric Hanushek from Stanford and with his Turkish colleague Sinan Sarpça. Their major topics are theoretical models on the public economics of education like financing systems of education and school choice. Together with his colleague Sinan Sarpça, Yilmaz is supposed to expand the network’s expertise to the education system of the candidate country Turkey.
Sinan Sarpça is Assistant Professor of Economics at the Department of Economics of Koç University Istanbul. He holds a Ph.D. and a Master of Science from Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA. In 2008, he was a Visiting Scholar at Carnegie Mellon University. Originally also from Turkey and holding a B.A. in Economics from Bogazici University in Istanbul, he will support Kuzey Yilmaz with expertise from the Turkish education system. He works on several sub-topics in the economics of education, mainly with a theoretical focus. Sarpça is mainly dealing with questions of school choice (together with Eric Hanushek and Kuzey Yilmaz), bargaining over college tuition fees and other issues combining public economics and economics of education.
