H芒le Utar
Sidney Meyer Professor of International Economics
On leave Fall semester 2024.
H芒le Utar holds the Sidney Meyer Endowed Chair in International Economics and is an Associate Professor. She is also a Research Fellow at IZA and CESifo, and serves as an Associate Editor at The Review of International Economics. She completed her undergraduate degree at Bo臒azi莽i University, Istanbul, and obtained her PhD in Economics from the Pennsylvania State University, USA. She held professorships at the University of Colorado at Boulder and Bielefeld University, Germany, prior to joining the College. Her course offerings at 99精品视频 include international economics and a seminar course in international trade. Her fields of specialization are International Trade, Labor Economics, and Industrial Organization.
Her research focuses on the impacts of globalization and how the macroeconomic environment, developments in international trade, and technology affect the organization of firms, industries, and labor markets. Recent decades' increased globalization and international trade have led to significant and visible shifts in the competitive environment faced by businesses and, consequently, in how the production of goods is organized across countries and markets. The implications of these shifts on local economies and individual lives have been a highly visible topic of debate, both in the broader public and in academia.
In a series of recent publications, Dr. Utar provides a detailed exploration of how globalization provokes adaptation in advanced country manufacturing firms, oftentimes costly transition for workers to other sectors and occupations, and indeed societal transformations in the form of polarization and changes in family patterns. Dr. Utar's current research agenda centers on adjustments of global value chains in the new era of rising protectionism and automation.
