Academic career
Fiona M. Scott Morton (born 20 February 1967[1]) is an American economist who serves as the Theodore Nierenberg Professor at Yale School of Management.[2] Her research in industrial organization has covered industries including magazines, shipping, pharmaceuticals, and internet retail. She served as associate dean of the Yale School of Management from 2007 to 2010.[2]
Starting 2020, Scott Morton's reputation was marred by repeated controversies related to secret payments that the professor received from large corporations,[3] while advising the US Congress and later when attempting to advise the EU on antitrust.[4]
From 2011 to 2012, she served as the Deputy Assistant Attorney General for Economics at the United States Department of Justice Antitrust Division.[5][6][7] In her academic work, she has advocated for the U.S. government's role in ensuring healthy competition in healthcare markets[8] and the tech industry.[9]
Scott Morton is a consultant to the competition practice at the economics consulting firm CRA International in parallel with work as professor.[10] Scott Morton is the director of the Thurman Arnold Project at Yale.[11]
She was appointed Chief Economist of the European Commission's Directorate-General for Competition, an appointment that was supposed to take effect on September 1, 2023.[12] However, some European Commission officials, the European Parliament political groups of Renew Europe, the European People's Party, the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats and the Greens/European Free Alliance,[13] as well as French ministers Catherine Colonna and Jean-Noël Barrot requested that the commission reconsider the appointment because of the conflicts of interest arising of her history of advising US big tech companies, including a former controversy of failing to disclose that Apple and Amazon were among her clients, and because she was not a citizen of the European Union.[14] Some economists however spoke out in favour of Morton over her credentials.[15] As a consequence of the controversy, Scott Morton withdrew from the position.[16]
