The Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences adopts a multidisciplinary research approach focused on producing high-impact academic outputs, addressing global challenges, and contributing to evidence-based policy development. The Faculty's research priorities are shaped by the scholarly productivity of its academic staff and are structured around thematic research clusters aligned with international scientific standards.
One of the Faculty's core research domains is Finance, Capital Markets, and Behavioral Economics. This research group conducts empirical studies on financial reporting quality, corporate governance, cryptocurrency markets, ethical investment instruments, and market behavior. Topics such as sin stocks, firm performance dynamics, employee well-being and productivity linkages, and investor reactions form key thematic areas within this cluster.
The Energy Economics, Environment, and Sustainability Research Group focuses on clean and dirty energy markets, carbon footprint analysis, air pollution indicators, natural resource trade, and environmental risk interactions. Research in this cluster aims to generate policy-relevant insights supporting climate action, sustainable development goals, and green transition strategies.
Another major research area is Political Economy and Institutional Transformation. This group investigates the relationship between democracy and economic growth, central bank policies, geopolitical risk transmission, macroeconomic governance structures, and institutional performance. The research outputs in this domain contribute to academic debates on economic resilience and governance reforms, particularly in emerging economies.
The International Trade and Global Value Chains Research Group examines competitiveness dynamics, production structures, sustainability-driven trade models, and sector-based trade performance. Studies related to textile production, natural versus conventional inputs, environmental trade impacts, and supply chain sustainability form the core focus of this research cluster.
These research groups operate through interdisciplinary collaboration, international co-authorship networks, and data-driven methodological frameworks. Together, they strengthen the Faculty's research capacity, enhance international visibility, and ensure that academic knowledge contributes directly to societal impact, sustainable economic development, and institutional excellence.
