My name is Hilal. I'm an economic consultant at Charles River Associates working on antitrust and competition issues. I have experience with litigation and M&A cases in a wide range of industries, including but not limited to tech, healthcare, energy and finance. ​ I graduated from Wellesley College in 2021 with a degree in Economics and Mathematics. You can read my thesis on offsetting effects of pandemic policies here. Prior to college, I went to Istanbul Lisesi, a German high school in Istanbul, Turkey. ​ I'm interested in public policy. In particular, unintended consequences policies can have and how to design optimal policies and regulations.
