“Economics Seminars–1” Held
The seminar, held on February 17, 2026, attracted significant interest from academics and students. The speaker of the program was Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ömer Tuğsal Doruk. In his presentation titled “The Economic Consequences of the February 6 Earthquakes: An Analysis from the Perspective of Firm Growth,” the microeconomic effects of natural disasters were evaluated, particularly in terms of firms’ growth dynamics, investment decisions, and financial performance.
During the seminar, production losses, supply chain disruptions, and changes in capital structure faced by firms in the post-disaster period were discussed in relation to their impact on growth. Additionally, the role of public policies and financial support mechanisms in enhancing firm resilience was addressed. In the Q&A session following the presentation, participants asked questions regarding disaster economics, regional development, and post-crisis recovery processes. The seminar provided a platform for academic discussion on the long-term effects of disasters on growth trajectories.
