He served as a lecturer at Binghamton University after his retirement. As of at least as recently as 2019 Basmann was still listed on Binghamton Universities listing of emeritus professors.[2]

Basmann held academic appointments at Northwestern University, University of Chicago and Purdue University prior to joining the faculty at Texas A&M.

Basmann earned a Ph.D. in economics from Iowa State University in 1955.[3][4] He is credited, along with Henri Theil, for deriving two stage least squares estimation.[5]
