Prof. Dr. Faik Bilgili | Energy Economics

Biography

Faik Bilgili received his Ph.D. degree in Economics from the City University of New York, Graduate Center (NY).

He taught statistics, microeconomics, and macroeconomics at Queens College (Queens), Wagner College (SI), and New York City College of Technology (Brooklyn), respectively. Dr. Bilgili has been teaching econometrics (Ph.D.), microeconomics (BA, Ph.D.), and macroeconomics (BA) at Erciyes University, FEAS (Kayseri).

His research interests are (i) Macroeconomics: Models, business cycles, natural resources, employment, growth, steady-state, stochastic dynamic general equilibrium, (ii) Energy: Energy efficiency, oil, natural gas, biomass, biofuels, biodiesels, hydrogen, hydropower, solar, geothermal, wind, shale gas, (iii) Environment: Global warming, climate change, pollution, CO₂ emissions, energy economics and policy, (iv) Statistics, mathematics, and econometrics: Matrix algebra, time series & panel data, wavelet coherence, regime-switching, software and data mining, data analytics, machine learning, convergence, linear-nonlinear programming, modeling, estimation, forecasting, and simulation.

He is the author/co-author of more than 100 articles, the author/supervisor of 20 projects, and the author/co-author of 16 books/chapters in the fields of economic modeling, convergence, optimization, energy, and environment. He received scholarships from the Higher Education Council of Turkey and New York City College of Technology and research awards/grants from the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK) and Erciyes University.

F. Bilgili serves as an Editor for Sustainability Science (Springer), Associate Editor for HSS Communications (Springer), Associate Editor for Environmental Economics and Management (Frontiers), Editorial Board member of Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews (Elsevier), and Environmental and Sustainability Indicators (Elsevier). He served as Associate Editor for Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews (Elsevier) from March 2015 to June 2018.
