Brendan Moore is an economics Ph.D. student at Stanford University focusing on labor, macro, and public economics. Previously, he was a senior research analyst at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Moore’s academic research studies job loss and its many consequences, including Unemployment Insurance receipt, firm responses to UI policies, long-run wage effects, and retraining at postsecondary institutions. His research also documents key forces behind de-unionization in the United States. Moore is partnering with the Washington state Employment Security Department on a U.S. Department of Labor-funded project to determine the causes of incomplete UI receipt. As part of this research, he will study the labor market effects of a program intended to increase UI take-up among recently laid-off workers in the state of Washington. Moore received his B.A. in economics from Columbia University.
