M.A. Zehra Usta

Short Research Description

I conduct research using tools for analyzing point and linear patterns, with an emphasis on methodology. I focus on the analysis of firm locations using point processes that consider not only the location of a single firm in space but also the characteristics of the terrain and unobservable interactions between firms.
