Valentin Klotzbücher
Welcome to my personal website!
I am an economist and applied statistician, living in Basel and working as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Freiburg. I am always open to connecting—feel free to email me, schedule a meeting, or explore my CV. I’m also interested in new opportunities and happy to discuss potential roles.

I believe that rigorous, quantitative analysis is essential for effective policy and real progress. In my published work, I have analyzed high-frequency data on crisis helpline calls to track public health trends1–3 and examined the political economy of terrorism and organized violence.4,5 I have also contributed to meta-science projects on reproducibility in social science,6,7 and I support The Unjournal in commissioning independent evaluations of high-impact research.8
My teaching includes introductory courses in microeconomics, as well as advanced courses in institutional economics and applied econometrics. Moreover, our Meet a Boss lecture series is now open to registered external guests - contact me if you want to attend!
