Rod Kiewiet has written four books and dozens of articles, and he has served on several editorial boards and executive councils. His research interests span a variety of topics in politics, history, and public policy. Much of his work uses empirical analyses to better understand questions in formal political theory. He is currently writing a book on the history of public school finance. He also maintains an interest in the role of quantitative analysis in the world of sports. He served as a consultant on the film Moneyball, and co-taught a freshman seminar called "The Theory and Practice of Moneyball" with Fred Claire, former general manager of the Dodgers.
