Senior🎓
Top SchoolRobert Walker is an associate professor of quantitative methods and social data scientist with nine years of experience in graduate management education and a longer track record in R1 political science programs. He blends microeconomic strategy, decision theory, and advanced statistical methods—especially causal inference, panel models, and simulation—to inform evidence-based management and public finance research. His work spans political economy topics from bond ratings and international capital regulation to management capacity across U.S. states and the effects of veterans’ preference in the federal bureaucracy. A seasoned instructor, he directs advanced time-series and panel training for PhD students at the Essex Summer School and brings practical measurement-model expertise to management decision-support. Based in Salem, Oregon, he pairs a PhD in Political Science and Political Economy with hands-on statistical computing and large-data evaluation, producing methods that bridge academic rigor and real-world policy impact.
