Background

Robby Moore grew up in Van Nuys, CA., was graduated from Pomona College, and received his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Economics from Harvard University. He joined the Occidental faculty in 1978. Prior to that he was an Assistant Professor of Economics at Harvard, where he was in charge of the introductory economics course. He teaches a variety of courses including introductory economics, intermediate microeconomic theory, public sector economics (public finance/expenditure analysis), labor economics, and his newest course, the economics of human resources management (personnel economics). Always extremely interested in teaching and teaching pedagogy, Robby was the originating (and only) editor of the Teaching Tools Section of Economic Inquiry, and has conducted teaching workshops at numerous colleges throughout the country. He also is the current director of Oxy's Center for Teaching Excellence.

In addition to authoring four textbooks, he has published numerous journal articles in his fields of special interest, labor economics, public finance, and economic education. His articles have appeared in such journals as the American Economic Review, the Quarterly Journal of Economics, the Review of Economics and Statistics, Economic Inquiry, the National Tax Journal, and the Journal of Economic Education, among others. His current research is in the areas of personnel economics as well as the taxation of human capital. See CV for further details.

Robby lives in San Marino with his wife of twenty five years, Nancy. They have two children, Jeff and Sarah. Sarah is completing her junior year at Williams College this Spring. Jeff graduated from MIT with a double major in Electrical Engineering & Computer Science and Brain & Cognitive Science; he is now completing his first year in the Ph.D. program in (computational) neuroscience at UC San Diego.

An avid tennis player all his life, Robby now believes there is actually some truth to the quip that the older he gets, the better tennis player he was in his college days.
