This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

About the Book Texts on economics are concerned with the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. As a social science, in economics the focus is on the behaviour and interactions of economic agents, and how whole economies work. Titles in our collection may be categorized into microeconomics, which analyzes basic elements in the economy, including individual agents (like households, firms, buyers, and sellers) and markets and their interactions. In macroeconomics the emphasis is on the economy as a whole (i.e. aggregated production, consumption, savings, and investment) and factors influencing it, including the use of resources (such as labour, capital, and land), inflation, economic growth, and the public policies influencing these issues. These include monetary policy (influencing interest rates) and fiscal policy (influencing expenditures). About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades. While these books may have occasional imperfections, we consider that only hand checking of every page ensures readable content without poor picture quality, blurred or missing text etc. That's why we: • republish only hand checked books; • that are high quality; • enabling readers to see classic books in original formats; that • are unlikely to have missing or blurred pages. You can search "Leopold Classic Library" in categories of your interest to find other books in our extensive collection. Happy reading!

Henry L. Moore November was born on November 21, 1869, in Charles County, Maryland, the son of William Henry Moore and Alice Burch.
He was educated in Scheib's Zion School and Milton Academy in Baltimore; and in 1889 he entered Randolph-Macon College in Virginia. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1892. Moore was an excellent student.
He began his graduate work at the Johns Hopkins University in 1892 and may have attended a series of lectures on mathematical economics (a field in which he later distinguished himself) offered by the visiting Simon Newcomb.
In 1894 - 1895, Moore attended the University of Vienna, where he took courses in political economy taught by Carl Menger.
Returning to Johns Hopkins in 1895, Moore received the Doctor of Philosophy degree in 1896 for a dissertation on Johann H. von Thünen's theory of the natural wage. At Johns Hopkins, Moore studied under John Bates Clark when the latter visited the university, and Clark became a good friend.
Moore served as instructor at Johns Hopkins from 1896 to 1897. In 1897 he took the position of professor of economy at Smith College, although he continued to lecture at Johns Hopkins until 1898. Moore was brought to Columbia University in 1902 largely through the efforts of Edwin R. A. Seligman and served as adjunct professor of political economy from 1902 to 1906 and professor of political economy until his retirement in 1929.
Moore's primary contribution to economics lay in his work on the statistical estimation of economic relationships. The mathematical formulation of economic theory had been drawing increased attention since the publication of the work of León Walras in the 1870's. The statistical description of economic activity had a much longer history. Moore combined these two approaches and became a founder of the modern field of econometrics, which employs the tools of economic theory, mathematics, and statistical inference in the analysis of economic phenomena and the testing of theoretical hypotheses. He called this study statistical economics.
Beginning about 1901, Moore contrived for himself a course of study that included the examination of mathematical works by J. L. Lagrange, A. A. Cournot, Leonhard Euler, and others.
In 1909 and 1913 he took courses in mathematical statistics and correlation with Karl Pearson at the University of London.
By 1911, when he published Laws of Wages: An Essay in Statistical Economics, Moore had come to believe that it was possible to create an empirical complement to "pure" or theoretical economics because of advances in mathematical economics, statistical analysis, and the collection of economic data. In that book he tested some aspects of J. B. Clark's specific productivity theory using the new correlation analysis to determine the demand curve for labor from statistical data. Despite its somewhat crude economic theorizing, Laws of Wages was generally well received by the profession.
Moore's Economic Cycles: Their Law and Cause (1914) was less well received. It argued that economic cycles were caused by movements in the yield per acre of crops, which were in their turn caused by changing weather represented by cyclical changes in rainfall. The technical analysis was rather advanced for that time, but critics were less interested in this than in what they correctly discerned to be errors in some parts of its economic reasoning.
Forecasting the Yield and Price of Cotton (1917) was Moore's most successful book, partly, one supposes, because it clearly demonstrated the potential of the estimation and forecasting techniques he pioneered, without exhibiting much of the theoretical weaknesses of his other works. It described the elaborate system of informed observers used by the Department of Agriculture to estimate crop yields and its general inaccuracy. By relating crop yields to rainfall and temperatures in earlier months by the use of correlation analysis, Moore was much more successful in forecasting cotton crop yields. His work pointed the way for numerous statistical price-analysis studies.
Between 1919 and 1923, Moore did additional work on economic cycles, culminating in his Generating Economic Cycles (1932). But his contemporaries remained skeptical. His work on cycles per se had little or no impact upon modern economics.
The last of his books (he also published over twenty articles) was Synthetic Economics (1929), in which he made the most complete formal statement of his approach and attempted the statistical derivation of both supply and demand functions. Although not well understood when it was published, Moore's work had an impact upon agricultural economists, including Henry A. Wallace, because of its obvious relevance to agricultural prices and policy. Moore's most able student, Henry Schultz, helped to expand the work on statistical demand analysis.
However, Moore's reputation as an economist was surprisingly limited in view of the seminal nature of his work. One reason for this was certainly the advanced level of his writing. Mathematical economics was still unfamiliar to most economists when Moore was attempting to give it an empirical dimension.
Another reason for Moore's lack of a wider reputation had to do with his personality. A modest and very private man, he wanted recognition but was extremely sensitive to criticism and completely unable to press his ideas aggressively upon the economics profession. He avoided intimacy with his colleagues as well as more formal requests for appointments to discuss his work, and he rejected invitations to give guest lectures or to attend professional meetings. His primary teaching areas were mathematical and statistical economics, but he disliked teaching undergraduates and even agreed to a reduction in his salary at Columbia between 1909 and 1918 for a corresponding reduction in his teaching duties.
Moore was plagued by poor health much of his life. In 1898, upon the advice of his physician, he requested and received a reduction in his teaching duties at Smith. His retirement from Columbia in 1929 came at his request after he had suffered a nervous collapse. From that time, he lived in virtual seclusion in Cornwall, New York, where he died on April 28, 1958.

In 1917 he was elected as a Fellow of the American Statistical Association.
Henry L. Moore was a private, sensitive person who suffered from long periods of illness.
On June 16, 1897, Henry L. Moore married Jane Armstrong Shafer of Richmond, Virginia; they apparently had no children.
