Health Economist
About
I'm Emre Sarı.
I'm a senior researcher in Health Economics at the NORCE Norwegian Research Centre, with a PhD in social sciences focusing on health economics. My background in economics and finance has been integral to my work on health and health behaviors.
My Journey
Starting in Istanbul, Türkiye, I worked in various roles at KPMG, Türk Telekom, and Unilever. Later, I pursued my PhD in Health Economics at UiT The Arctic University of Norway, where I developed my dissertation on the multigenerational transmission of health and health behaviors.
During my PhD studies, I was a visiting candidate at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and participated in the International Doctoral Courses in Health Economics and Policy at the Swiss Society of Health Economics.
My Studies
My research papers, published in various journals, cover topics such as social inequalities in health, intergenerational transmission of health, neighborhood effects, smoking, physical exercise, adverse childhood experiences, mental health, suicides, and economic uncertainty.
Teaching and Certificates
I've taught economics at the bachelor, master, and PhD levels and completed a 200-hour course in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education for PhD Fellows at UiT.
Awards & Grants
My work has received recognition, including awards and grants from the Arctic Frontiers Science Conference and from organizations like High North Population Studies and the Faculty of Biosciences, Fisheries, and Economics at UiT.
