Geoffrey H. Moore

Geoffrey Hoyt Moore (February 28, 1914 – March 9, 2000), whom The Wall Street Journal called “the father of leading indicators”,[1] spent several decades working on business cycles at the National Bureau of Economic Research,[2] where he helped build on the work of his mentors, Wesley Clair Mitchell and Arthur F. Burns.[3][4] Moore also served as commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics from March 1969 to January 1973.[1]

In 1946 Moore was teaching statistics at New York University and one of his students was Alan Greenspan,[5] later chairman of the Federal Reserve, who would tell The New York Times that Moore was “a major force in economic statistics and business-cycle research for more than a half-century.”[4] In 1956 he was elected as a Fellow of the American Statistical Association.[6] In 1996 Moore founded the Economic Cycle Research Institute in New York city.[4]
