Professor Long has research interests primarily in the area of financial economics. In his published articles, he has addressed many of the financial decision problems faced by individuals and firms. These include total savings and portfolio-selection decisions (with particular emphasis on income tax implications and the performance of sophisticated portfolio-selection techniques), investment-project evaluation and dividend-policy choice. In other articles, he addresses the behavior of relative asset prices, the measurement of “abnormal” asset returns, the implications of taxes and inflation for common stock prices and the term structure of interest rates. With Charles I. Plosser, Long has done theoretical and empirical research on fundamental interpretations of fluctuations in economic activity (business cycles). Long is a past editor and advisory editor of the Journal of Financial Economics and a member of Beta Gamma Sigma.
