Her research interests span economic sociology, cultural studies, and branding.

Her recent work examines communicative aspects of economic life, including payment systems, price discrimination, and the role of family financial support ('the bank of mum and dad'). She also investigates social marketing’s neoliberal implications and the global dynamics of branding. Moor actively supervises PhD students in areas like embedded branding and economic imaginaries.
