Kaan Celebi

I am a Junior Professor of International Economics with a special focus on Europe at Chemnitz University of Technology. I also serve as Associate Editor for the journal International Economics and Economic Policy (Springer).

​

My research connects international trade and foreign direct investment (FDI) with cross-border capital flows and macro-finance. I have studied Brexit’s economic effects, the link between macro factors and equity markets across crisis and non-crisis periods, and the interactions between climate policy, demographic change, FDI, and inflation. Methodologically, I combine dynamic open-economy models with applied econometrics, including dynamic panels, panel VARs, GARCH models, and impact evaluation (DiD, event studies, synthetic control).

I am currently working on the following areas:

• Modeling trade and FDI: US MNC technology shock and the current account; EU convergence in an FDI-DSGE setting; the effects of US/EU tariffs in models with trade and FDI; EU tariffs on US digital services.

• FDI and labor markets: the FDI-unemployment nexus across OECD economies. 

• Political economy and public opinion: socioeconomic drivers of dissatisfaction with EU and national governments.

• FDI, sustainability, and regional development: firm- and country-level links to sustainability; inward FDI dynamics in Ukraine. 

• Macro-finance and policy: information overload in monetary pass-through.
