Claude Hillinger (27 June 1930 – 19 March 2020) was a German-American economist. He was a professor of economics at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich from 1972 to 1995.[1]

Born in Berlin shortly before the Machtergreifung, Hillinger emigrated with his family to Turkey in 1937.[1] He grew up living in Istanbul and Ankara until 1948, when he moved to New York City.[1] Partly in evening courses, he attained his bachelor's degree and later an MBA from City College of New York in 1953 and 1959, respectively.[1] He then went on to earn a PhD in economics from the University of Chicago in 1963. His dissertation, advised by Robert Basmann, contained econometric tests of Lloyd Metzler's inventory cycle model of the business cycle.[2]

After working as a lecturer at the University at Buffalo until 1966, Hillinger became an assistant professor at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. In 1972, he moved back to Germany, becoming a professor of economics at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich.

Hillinger was an advocate of utilitarian or cardinal voting systems (primarily combined approval voting) rather than ranked voting systems.[3][4][5][6]

Hillinger died on 19 March 2020, at the age of 89.[7]
