I’m @m_buermann and I do quantitative social sciences with a thematic focus on labor market research. I’m particularly interested in the role that educational systems and labor market institutions play in the genesis of social inequality.

Beyond the usual methods of analysis for simple cross-sections, I feel most comfortable with panel and multilevel models. Besides German and English, I speak mainly Stata and R.

On this website you find descriptions of my current and past projects, a list of my teaching activities as well as a short CV and contact information.
