The DeVoe L. Moore Center at Florida State University is an interdisciplinary unit in the College of Social Sciences that is dedicated to increasing knowledge and public understanding about the role of government in a market economy. The Center emphasizes the study of how government rules, regulations, and programs affect the economy and individuals. Bringing the insights of economics, political science, and public administration to the study of state and local regulations is a major focus of the Center's efforts.

Scholarly research of the Center faculty, faculty affiliates, and graduate students is designed to generate knowledge that is integrated into innovative undergraduate and graduate teaching. The Center's educational mission extends to outreach activities that inform elected officials, the academic community, and the general public about perspectives that clarify the role of local, state, and national government in the economy and economic outcomes related to individual income, employment and other measures of socioeconomic standing such as housing affordability.

The Center was founded in 1998 as the result of a gift from DeVoe L. Moore, an entrepreneur and benefactor committed to free enterprise.
