Assoc. Prof. SEVDA KUŞKAYA

Dr. Sevda Kuşkaya received her Ph.D. in Economics from Erciyes University. Her doctoral dissertation, titled “The Effectiveness of Energy Policies Followed in Controlling Global Warming: A Continuous Wavelet Coherence Model Approach” investigates the impact of energy policies on global warming using advanced econometric techniques. The thesis was supported by the Erciyes University Scientific Research Projects Unit (Project No: SDK-2017-7332) and was awarded the “Most Successful Doctoral Thesis in the Field of Environment” by the Environment Foundation in 2018.

Her research interests include economics, applied economics, the economics of climate change, greenhouse gas emissions, renewable energy and the environment, energy policies, environmental and energy economics, matrix algebra, time, series and panel data analyses, as well as continuous and partial wavelet coherence analyses. She is also aiming to incorporate artificial intelligence and machine learning methods into her interdisciplinary research agenda.

Dr. Kuşkaya is the author or co-author of 67 peer-reviewed publications in national and international journals. Her work has appeared in high-impact journals such as Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, Applied Economic Analysis, Quality and Quantity, Journal of Cleaner Production, Renewable Energy, Energy, Resources Policy, Environmental Science and Pollution Research, Scientific Reports, OPEC Energy Review, and the Geological Journal.

Since August 2021, she has served as a Guest Editor for the "Environmental Economics and Management" section of Frontiers in Environmental Science. As of 2025, she is also a member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Innovation & Knowledge.

She holds memberships in various international research communities, including Applied Energy, Quantitative Analysis, Environmental Economics, Matlab Users and Integrators, Quantitative Analytics, MathWorks, Econometric Research Association, and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). Dr. Kuşkaya has reviewed over 100 manuscripts for journals published by Elsevier, Springer, SAGE, and Frontiers.

Dr. Kuşkaya continues her academic work in economics, energy, environment, climate change, energy policies, time series and panel data to produce interdisciplinary contributions by integrating machine learning into her research.
