Welcome

to the pages of the Chair of Statistics and Quantitative Methods in Empirical Economics.

We conduct research primarily on topics in health economics, the economics of education, and the economics of aging. We work empirically and use individual data as well as modern methods of causal analysis. We also teach these methods in our courses.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us!
