Christian Kleiber is Professor of Econometrics and Statistics at the University of Basel. Having trained as a statistician in Germany and the UK, he obtained his PhD in Statistics from the Technical University of Dortmund. He joined the University of Basel in 2006.
His research interests include heavy-tailed phenomena in economics and related fields, income distribution and inequality measurement, statistical distributions, stochastic orders and their applications, statistical foundations of data science, regression models for count data, and time series analysis. He also maintains an interest in econometric and statistical computing, including computational reproducibility, and in the history of statistics and econometrics.
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents.
