Competence area statistics

We pursue the overarching goal of promoting data literacy in teaching and research and focus on the area of applied statistics. Within this area, knowledge and skills are taught that enable learners to effectively apply statistical methods to analyze data, identify patterns and draw sound conclusions. This includes understanding basic and advanced statistical concepts and applying these concepts to real-world data sets from a variety of disciplines. By fostering data literacy, students and researchers are enabled to critically evaluate data, formulate research questions and generate empirical findings that contribute to the development of knowledge in their respective fields.

About our working group

Campus Unteres Schloß, Gebäudeteil D

"In our working group, we deal with the quantitative analysis of economic and social processes, in particular the effects of working conditions and individual resources on health, well-being and performance. In doing so, we combine methodologically sound data analysis with economic theory.

The focus is on both stable relationships and dynamic developments, for example in panel data. Special emphasis is placed on the identification of causal effects and the critical evaluation of empirical results.

As an interdisciplinary team from applied statistics, economics and mathematics, we work on the development and application of modern quantitative methods in order to provide reliable empirical evidence for economic and social science issues."

Our research profile
