Gulcin's research lies at the intersection of macroeconomics and finance, with particular interests in financial stability, monetary and fiscal policy, sovereign risk, emerging markets, innovation and finance, and the economic consequences of climate and geopolitical risks. Her recent work examines global monetary policy spillovers, unconventional policy interventions, public credit guarantees and innovation, taxation, and the distributional effects of macroeconomic policies.

Professor Ozkan regularly engages with central banks, international organisations, and policymakers on issues relating to macroeconomic and financial stability. She is the author of Why Are Presidential Regimes Bad for the Economy? Understanding the Link Between Forms of Government and Economic Outcomes (Routledge, 2022) and has supervised numerous doctoral students who now hold positions in academia, international organisations, and central banks around the world.
