RESEARCH:

Dr. Serdar Türkeli conducts policy research at the United Nations University - Maastricht Economic and Social Research Institute on Innovation and Technology (UNU-MERIT United Nations University), Maastricht University. He applies quantitative and/or qualitative methods to critical political economy and policy issues related to governance of science, technology and innovation (STI), STI policies and their governance for sustainability, system transitions and societal transformations.

• Domain Expertise:
  • Governance of Innovation | Complexity of Innovation | Emerging Technologies | Digital Transformation and Economy
  • Innovation for Sustainability | Sustainable Development | Circular Economy | Sustainable Development Goals
  • Social Economy | Social Entrepreneurship, Advocacy and Public Policy Nexus | Education  
  • Applied Political Economy | Alternative Economies | System Transitions | Societal Transformations

• Data Science and Research Methods: He uses several research methods, mixed method and multi-method analysis to provide critical policy options, recommendations and ideas: 1) Econometrics (e.g. Celbis and Türkeli, 2015) | 2) Structural Equation Modelling Partial Least Squares Path Modelling (e.g. Blohmke, Kemp and Türkeli, 2016) | 3) Artificial Neural Network Analysis (e.g. Türkeli, 2020) | 4) Life Cycle Assessment Decoupling Analysis (e.g. Huang et al., 2018) | 5) Fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (e.g. Türkeli, 2012; Bilman and Türkeli, 2013) | 6) Scientometrics Bibliometrics (e.g. Türkeli and Kemp, 2018; Türkeli et al., 2018) | 7) Network analysis (e.g. Türkeli et al., 2018) | 8) Cluster analysis (e.g. Türkeli et al., 2020) | 9) Text Content Analysis (e.g. McDowall et al. 2017; Türkeli et al., 2018) | 10) Q-Methodology (e.g. Türkeli, 2013) | 11) Discourse Analysis (e.g. Türkeli, 2013) | 12) Qualitative Metasynthesis (e.g. Türkeli and Schophuizen, 2019) | 13) Survey research and analysis (e.g. Türkeli et al., 2018; Türkeli et al., 2019 ) | 14) Qualitative research (e.g. Kemp, Barteková, Türkeli, 2017) | 15) Interpretive Structural Modelling and MICMAC (e.g. Türkeli, 2020)

His work has appeared in Journal of Technological Forecasting and Social Change; Journal of Cleaner Production; Journal of Industrial Ecology; Energies; Journal of Sustainability Research; International Economics and Economic Policy; International Economics Letters; Journal Global Policy and Governance; Social Sciences, and as book chapters in Springer, Elsevier and Oxford University Press, and as policy research reports for Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, Turkish Public Enterprises Association, and several European Commission Directorates-General, European Commission Executive Agencies, UN Inter-Agency Task Force on Social and Solidarity Economy and UNESCO.
