Biographical

Professor Moore's research interests center around American social policy and statistical political methodology. Substantively, he is interested in the intersection of direct democ- racy, federalism, and the politics of old age pensions and health care. Methodologically, he develops and implements methods for political experiments, ecological data, missing data, and causal inference.
