(07231) 28-6331Torben Kuhlenkasper is Professor for Mathematics, Statistics and Econometrics at Pforzheim University, and head of the department of quantitative methods at the Business School. In addition to teaching undergraduate courses in mathematics and statistics, he also gives lectures on methods in quantitative marketing research, empirical methods in human resource management and methods of data science.
After completing his degrees in business and economics specializing in statistics and econometrics, he completed his doctorate in statistics at the University of Bielefeld in 2011, under the supervision of Göran Kauermann.
Until 2012 he was senior economist at the renowned Hamburg Institute of International Economics (HWWI), where he continued his work and research around the application of flexible confirmative statistical methods in economics. He continued this research after 2012 when he took on the position as a Junior Professor of Applied Econometrics at the Goethe University Frankfurt. He is currently carrying out various research projects in modern financial econometrics and the Design of Experiments (DoE). He has published three textbooks in statistics.
Torben Kuhlenkasper works in empirical economic research and econometrics. He focuses on model-based quantification of complex economic and business connections.
The scope of his work ranges from the implementation and evaluation of employee surveys to the analysis and forecasting of international stock, financial and commodity markets using state-of-the-art statistical methods. The semi-parametric regression methods used here extent classical linear methods and allow to quantify complex interaction in economic contexts.
In a highly acclaimed publication with scientists at the Helmut Schmidt University of the German Armed Forces in Hamburg and the University of Lüneburg, he presented flexible semiparametric techniques to develop a new method for understanding these interactions. He analyzed, for example, the popularity of the US president in relation to the economic situation of the country. It was shown that there are nonlinear correlations between the inflation rate, the unemployment rate, and the public spending as explanatory factors, and the popularity of the US president. The method used here, which allows to quantify even complex economic contexts, was the starting point for further research on applications in both economics and business administration.
