Berkay Özcan is a Postdoctoral Associate at the Center for Research on Inequalities and the Life Course at Yale University. His research interests include Economic Behavior of the Family, Savings and Wealth, Income Inequality, Work and Gender. His doctoral dissertation, The Effects of Marital Transitions and Spousal Characteristics on Economic Outcomes, aims to sharpen our understanding of why and how couple dynamics and marital transitions affect four critical economic outcomes: household savings, labour supply, transition to self- employment and income distribution. At CIQLE, his research involves empirical research with longitudinal data on the processes that generate inequalities of social class, race/ethnicity, generation, and gender across the life course.
