Florian Huber

Florian Huber is a Professor of Economics and Vice-Head of the Department of Economics at the University of Salzburg. His research focuses on Bayesian macroeconometrics, particularly large-scale non-linear multivariate time series modeling. He has published in top journals such as the Journal of Econometrics and the Journal of Applied Econometrics. His work integrates machine learning and nonlinear methods to analyze macroeconomic dynamics and uncertainty.

Huber serves as a Scientific Consultant to the Oesterreichische Nationalbank (OeNB), European Central Bank (ECB), and European Commission. He holds roles as Associate Editor of Macroeconomic Dynamics, Senior Scientist at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), and Research Fellow of Bocconi University’s Baffi Center. His accolades include the 2024 Kurt-Zopf-Förderpreis and Fellow status in the Society for Economic Measurement.

Research interests span Bayesian econometrics, state space modeling, forecasting, and financial spillovers. His recent work addresses topics like growth-at-risk, nonlinear VAR models, and real-time inflation forecasting. Huber’s contributions bridge theoretical econometrics with policy-relevant analysis, emphasizing the integration of big data and structural models.
