Profile
More details in my CV.
Resul Zoroglu examines different approaches to the provision of public goods in supranational and decentralized contexts, addressing fundamental challenges of international cooperation, fair burden sharing in military alliances, and incentive-compatible redistribution. His work contributes to a deeper theoretical and empirical understanding of how collective action problems can be mitigated through targeted institutional design – combining behavioral, empirical, and axiomatic approaches.
Resul Zoroglu began his studies in economics at the University of Mannheim in 2014. In winter 2016, he completed a semester abroad at Boğaziçi University in Istanbul, Turkey, and in summer 2017, he completed a semester abroad at Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona, Spain. He enrolled in the Master's programme in Economics at the University of Heidelberg in 2017 and continued it at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in winter 2018; he graduated in Economics Engineering. Resul focused on market design, analysing and optimising markets to improve existing markets by actively designing market rules. In particular, in the non-monetary market for organs, he analysed market mechanisms that increase the number of organ donors. In doing so, he used both theoretical and experimental methods.
He joined the Chair of Economic Policy as a Research Associate in March 2022. From September 2024 to March 2025, he was a visiting scholar at Boston College (USA), invited by Prof. Utku Ünver, with a focus on mechanisms for the provision of public goods.
Work in Progress
| Jahr | Titel | Inhalt |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | Provision of Supranational Security for the European Sky Shield Initiative with Prof. Dr. Ingrid Ott | Analyzing and predicting coalition formation in the context of supranational security, focusing on burden-sharing within alliances and applying the model of human cooperation in provision of global public goods. |
| 2025 | European NATO Burden Sharing 1993-2022 with Noah Oerther | Analyzing burden-sharing and benefit allocation through innovative burden-sharing approaches in the NATO and NATO-Europe. |
| 2025 | Designing Rebate Rules in Public Goods Provision: Axioms, Limits, and Comparisons with Cyril Rouault | Analyzing rebate rules in crowdfunding, which govern how surplus contributions are redistributed once a project’s funding goal is met. Using an axiomatic approach, we establish impossibility results and introduce the Proportional Rebate with Threshold Rule to reconcile fairness, participation, and incentive compatibility. |
| 2025 | Designing Rebate Rules in Public Goods Provision: An Experimental Approach with Cyril Rouault | Focus on experimentally validating the effectiveness of different rebate rules in enhancing contribution incentives—particularly in contexts of public goods provision where the withholding of project information affects contributor behavior. The project examines whether the Proportional Rebate with Threshold Rule effectively elicits true valuations, as envisioned in the demand revelation literature. |
