He has authored business cases about Terrapin Laboratory, Loki Capital Management, DaVita, MuMaté, Hövding, GenapSys, HourlyNerd, and Saudi Aramco. He has published research about dividend policy, income inequality and the skills gap.

With Michael C. Jensen, Fuller argued that dividend policy was critical to solving the politics of agency costs between shareholders and senior executives. As a result, they agreed with Richard C. Breeden, the former chairman of the SEC, that companies should give high dividends to their shareholders annually to make sure their investments were based on dynamic capital market returns and avoid wasting resources on unnecessary investments or extravagant compensations.
