Claude Hillinger (born 1930) is a German American economist. He was a professor of economics at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich from 1972 to 1995.
Born in Berlin shortly before the Machtergreifung, Hillinger emigrated with his family to Turkey in 1937. He grew up living in Istanbul and Ankara until 1948, when he moved to New York City. 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. 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.
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.
