Enes Işık ~ I am a Ph.D. candidate in economics, at the University of Massachusetts—Amherst. My current research explores economic inequality through the lens of economic history, economic development, and macroeconomics.

My earlier studies delved into innovation in pharmaceuticals and climate change mitigation technologies and the impact of minimum wage policies on labor market outcomes.
