GO ROBBY. GO OXY ECON.

Some teachers teach you enough to pass a test.

The great ones teach you how to think for the rest of your life.

Professor Robert “Robby” Moore is one of those teachers.

I arrived at Occidental College as a young man and graduated in 1982 with a degree in Economics. Somewhere along that journey, Robby Moore helped put a framework around the world for me.

Supply and demand.

Incentives.

Trade-offs.

Opportunity cost.

And one lesson I have never forgotten:

The law of unintended consequences.

More than forty years later, I still see those lessons everywhere—in business, politics, advertising, human behavior, and life itself.

Robby joined Occidental in 1978 and spent 41 years teaching generations of students. Along with Woody Studenmund and others, he helped build Oxy Economics into one of the strongest and most respected programs at the college.

But a professor’s true legacy is not measured in years.

It is measured in people.

It is measured in the student who suddenly sees the world differently.

It is measured in the lesson that comes back to you 10, 20, or 40 years later.

It is measured when a former student, now 66 years old, still hears the voice of his economics professor asking:

What are the incentives?

What are the trade-offs?

And what might happen that nobody intended?

That is a hell of a legacy.

Professor Moore gave thousands of students something far more valuable than answers.

He taught us how to ask better questions.

Thank you, Robby, for the education, the discipline, the memories, and the ideas that lasted a lifetime.

From one grateful member of the Occidental College Class of 1982:

GO ROBBY.

GO OXY ECON.

Io Triumphe!

This exactly what happens in life. You drop the ball and pick it in the end zone and with a little luck and skill from my friends I score the touchdown. Incredible!

@McFaul I knew Barry at Oxy. He was the cool guy from Hawaii who had a nice jump shot and was a writer-scholar, then later became an author, Constitutional law professor, Senator, and President. Nobel Peace Prize winner. Yeah, that was my hallmate at Haines Hall.

@McFaul My son Mark graduated from USC Law this May. We are a lucky bunch.

[Francisco Medina @frankmedia]

@McFaul Congratulations on your son's hard work paying off. It takes lots of effort from the whole family to make this happen. Nice boys.
