Harris holds the Fred V. Keenan Chair in Finance at the USC Marshall School of Business. His research, teaching, and consulting
address regulatory and practitioner issues in trading and in investment
management. He has written extensively
about trading rules, transaction costs, and market regulations. His introduction to the economics of trading,
TRADING AND EXCHANGES: Market
Microstructure for Practitioners (Oxford University Press: 2003), is widely
regarded as a “must read” for entrants into the securities industry. Chairman
Harvey Pitt appointed Dr. Harris to serve as Chief Economist of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in July 2002 where he
continued to serve under Chairman William Donaldson through June 2004. As Chief Economist, Harris was the primary
advisor to the Commission on all economic issues. He contributed extensively to the
development of regulations implementing Sarbanes-Oxley, to the resolution of
the mutual fund timing crisis, to the specification of the proposed Regulation
NMS (National Market System), and to numerous legal cases. Harris also directed the SEC Office of Economic Analysis
in which 35 economists, analysts, and support staff engage in
regulatory analysis, litigation support, and basic economic research. Professor
Harris currently serves on the boards of Interactive Brokers, Inc. (IBKR), the Clipper
Fund, Inc. (CFIMX), and CFALA, the
Los Angeles Society of Financial Analysts.
He also serves as research coordinator for the Institute for
Quantitative Research in Finance (The Q-Group).
He is a former associate editor of the Journal of Finance, the Review
of Financial Studies, and the Journal
of Financial and Quantitative Analysis.
Other professional service has included year-long assignments to the
