Cliometrics: The science of quantifying (economic) history

25 november 2025

We econometricians share the stage of ‘’metrics’’ with a lot of other disciplines. Think of biometrics, which deals with data concerning fingerprints, DNA, face recognition and more. Or even psychometrics, whose aim is to measure psychological features such as intelligence or other personality traits. A well-known personality test is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. But have you ever heard of cliometrics? This science is the application of ‘’metrics’’ to the past.

Econophysics from an Economist’s Perspective

18 november 2025

What happens when Adam Smith meets Isaac Newton? Chaos, but with better equations. When the invisible hand meets the laws of motion, economics starts looking a lot like physics. In this crossover, an agent becomes a particle, energy becomes money, temperature becomes uncertainty, and trade becomes energy exchange. The result? Income distributions that behave like thermodynamic equilibria — and a new field people call econophysics.

Why do we count in tens and not twelves?

04 november 2025

Have you ever wondered why we use only ten digits and the decimal system and not something else? The number twelve once was a big contender. Look at the number of eggs in a dozen, the hours on a clock, months in a year and even the number of courses in a year.

Michael Klaster: Leadership and Econometrics – An Unexpected Bridge

01 november 2025

After 27 years working as an econometrician I have learned that models often reveal more about the assumptions of the builder than about reality itself. We simplify, abstract, adopt a linear approach and hope that the residuals don't betray us. Yet time and again we see that the real difference between success or failure often lies outside the model. And one factor keeps recurring: leadership.
