Innovative Research in Public Procurement and Macroeconomics

This research presentation by Bedri Tas, from the Department of Economics and Finance, showcases past achievements in empirical analysis, monetary economics, and financial markets manipulation. Recent publications delve into predicting outcomes in public procurement, the effect of uncertainty shocks on unemployment, and the impact of procurement policy on SME participation. The future research agenda includes exploring economic effects of advertisement content on procurement, machine learning analysis for predicting stock returns, analyzing connections in procurement networks, and investigating the role of FinTech in promoting sustainable development. Research interests focus on leveraging AI, machine learning, and NLP to detect collusion and corruption in public procurement, identifying green procurement practices, predicting inflation through big data, and studying the economic impact of FinTech adaptation.
