Assoc. Prof. Yengin is a leading expert in microeconomic theory, specializing in mathematical economics, bargaining models, game theory, axiomatic fair allocation, social choice and welfare, and market mechanisms design. Her research, published in top economic theory journals such as the Journal of Public Economics (top 3% in Scopus) and Games and Economic Behavior, has made significant contributions to both economic theory and its practical applications. Her earlier work on axiomatic fair mechanism design has been cited in computer science and AI-related fields, with five patent applications in task scheduling.
Currently, her work specializes in game-theoretic bargaining models and their application across law and policy, focusing on fair and efficient negotiation processes, particularly in contexts with incomplete property rights and imbalanced power dynamics. By integrating economic theory, law, and political philosophy, Assoc. Prof. Yengin addresses complex societal challenges in land use, natural resource management, and market design. Her influential work on bargaining processes has led to substantial policy impact, including citations by the World Bank and recommendations on compulsory land acquisition that were tabled in the South Australian Parliament in 2022, resulting in policy reforms.
Her overarching commitment to equity and fairness underpins all her work, whether developing foundational economic theory or designing practical policy solutions to address challenges in economic and social systems creating meaningful outcomes for disadvantaged communities. As a co-founder of the Women in Economics Network (2017) and Deputy Chair Academic, she has led national initiatives and contributed to global efforts on gender equity in DFAT funded projects. She uses her expertise to design equitable solutions for Indigenous welfare, including expert reports on royalty-related negotiations with native title holders.
