Exploring Economic Systems Through Research

My academic work centers on understanding how economic systems emerge, evolve, and shape societies. Through competitions, independent research, and interdisciplinary projects, I explore economics not only as a set of models, but as a historical and structural force influencing labor, trade, technology, and sustainability. My research spans economic theory, global development, environmental economics, and economic history, with a particular focus on globalization and long-term growth developments. By combining analytical writing, quantitative modeling, and historical inquiry, I aim to examine economic problems from both theoretical and real-world perspectives.
