Who am I?
Hi! My name is Ezgi Cengiz. I am an assistant professor in Agricultural and Resource Economics at North Carolina State University. My primary research fields are empirical industrial organization, applied microeconomics, applied econometrics, and health economics. I am particularly interested in quantifying the causal impacts of advertising and diet improvement policies in food and beverages industries.

I love cooking, eating, in-line skating, and kundalini yoga.
