At Yale SOM, she teaches courses in the area of competitive strategy and antitrust economics. She served as Associate Dean from 2007\u201310 and has won the school\u2019s teaching award three times. She founded and directs the Thurman Arnold Project at Yale<\/a>, a vehicle to provide more antitrust programming and policy projects to Yale students. Professor Scott Morton has a BA from Yale and a PhD from MIT, both in Economics. She is a frequent speaker at seminars and conferences across the United States and Europe.<\/p>\n

Note: Professor Scott Morton occasionally writes research papers and undertakes other public work that present a potential appearance of a conflict of interest because of an overlap between the consulting topics and the particular ideas being discussed in the policy work or research paper. Her writing of this type includes a note in the appropriate place naming the companies at issue. In the spirit of full information, she wants to be sure the public is aware that she engages in some consulting work. This enables her to learn more about firm strategy and behavior, and contributes to better research and teaching.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
