Dede Long (龙登)

Welcome! 

As an applied economist, I use experiments, surveys, and quasi-experimental techniques to examine the economic and environmental implications of public and private incentives to promote ecosystem services. 

In addition to environmental issues, my latest work evaluates interventions aimed at improving enrollment in STEM and economics, particularly among women and marginalized populations. 

I'm a firstgen and am currently an assistant professor of economics at Harvey Mudd College, a STEM-focused liberal arts college in California. You can reach me at dlong at hmc.edu. 

I'm on parental leave from March 2026 to Jan 2027. 

Here are my CV, Google Scholar, and ResearchGate. My official teaching evaluations are also available. In my free time, I enjoy reading and listening to podcasts; I track my leisure readings here. 

A group of scammers has been impersonating me and contacting students. Please be especially cautious and double-check the sender's email address. I will only contact students using my official Harvey Mudd email, which ends in .edu.
