Florian Kuhn

Intro

I am an economist specializing in statistical data analysis, with years of experience in both predictive and causal modeling in academia and industry.

Real-world data is created and used in an economic environment. Our analyses become more insightful and actionable when we integrate cutting-edge statistical techniques with the economic context of a decision.

My goal is to transform complex data into clear insights that can inform decisions and empower data users to act independently. If you are interested in collaborating I look forward to hearing from you.
