Alexander Simon Mayer

Alexander Simon Mayer serves as a Researcher (RTDa) in the Department of Economics at Ca' Foscari University of Venice. He holds a PhD in Econometrics from WHU--Otto Besheim School of Management (2020), with prior graduate studies at University of Bonn and undergraduate education at University of Cologne. His academic appointment is based at the San Giobbe campus in Venice.

His educational background includes:

• BSc in Economics (2012) - University of Cologne
• MSc in Economics (2014) - University of Bonn
• PhD in Econometrics (2020) - WHU--Otto Besheim School of Management
• Postdoctoral Research (2020-2022) - Institute of Econometrics and Statistics, University of Cologne

Mayer's research focuses on advanced econometric methodologies with particular expertise in time series analysis, panel data structures, and causal inference frameworks. His work bridges theoretical econometrics with practical applications in financial and economic modeling, frequently addressing challenges related to nonstationarity, structural breaks, and nonlinear dependencies in complex datasets. His publications demonstrate consistent contributions to methodological advancements in econometric theory.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals strong thematic continuity in developing robust econometric techniques for handling complex data structures. His work spans nonstationary panel models, quantile-based causality testing, endogeneity corrections, structural break detection, and copula-based dependence modeling - all addressing fundamental challenges in modern econometric analysis.

Mayer teaches graduate-level econometrics courses across multiple programs including Economics, Finance and Sustainability; Engineering Physics; and doctoral programs. His teaching spans from 2022 through the upcoming 2025/2026 academic year, consistently delivering 6-7 credit Econometrics courses at the master's level.
