Hanover, N.H.—This month, Professor Matthew J. Slaughter returns to active status at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth after completing his tenure as a member on the White House Council of Economic Advisers (CEA). Slaughter managed the international-macro portfolio for the three-member CEA, working on such issues as America’s new strategic economic dialogue with China, the Doha development round of the World Trade Organization, and foreign direct investment in the United States.
In addition to returning to Tuck, Slaughter will take on new a new role as the adjunct senior fellow for business and globalization with the Council on Foreign Relations, beginning on April 1.
Slaughter’s nomination by President George W. Bush was approved by the U.S. Senate in the fall of 2005. After completing his tenure, Slaughter stepped down from the CEA post effective March 1, 2007. On leave from Tuck during his time in Washington, he will now resume teaching and research at the school. He plans to teach executive education courses this spring and MBA courses next year.
"We are proud to have Professor Slaughter on our faculty and thrilled to have him back full-time at Tuck after his time of public service in Washington," says Paul Danos, dean of the Tuck School. "Matt’s previous research into the economics and policies of globalization holds considerable influence in his field, and his stature was confirmed by his appointment to the CEA. His time in Washington has given him important new insights into the intersection of research, academic study, and the policy-making process at the very highest level, and we are very happy that he is bringing that knowledge back to Tuck."
Located within the Executive Office of the President, the CEA provides the president and top government officials with objective economic analysis and advice on the development and implementation of a wide range of domestic and international economic policy issues. In this role, Slaughter worked regularly with such officials as President Bush, Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson D’68, and former CEA Chairman and current Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke.
"During my CEA service, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work on a number of business-policy challenges facing our country and the global community," says Slaughter. "These challenges included the rise of countries such as China and India, efforts to further liberalize international trade and investment, and global imbalances and the related performance of capital markets here and abroad."
He adds that his service in Washington, "provided a wealth of experiences, which I will build on in my future teaching, research, and outreach. I appreciate the support of the Tuck School—both for fostering my professional development over the years and for the generosity in allowing me to take leave to apply these abilities in public service. "
Slaughter is an associate professor of business administration at Tuck. After joining the faculty in 2002, he has taught such courses as "Global Economics for Managers" and "Countries and Companies in the International Economy." From 1994 until he joined Tuck, he was an associate and assistant professor of economics at Dartmouth College. He is also a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research. In recent years he has been a term member at the Council on Foreign Relations, a visiting fellow at the Institute for International Economics, a visiting scholar at the Federal Reserve Board and the International Monetary Fund, and a consultant at the World Bank and the U.S. Department of Labor.
