Matthew Slaughter

Matt Slaughter is the Paul Danos Dean of the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth, where in addition he is the Earl C. Daum 1924 Professor of International Business. He is also a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a life member of the Council on Foreign Relations, a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research, a member of the Aspen Institute’s Economic Strategy Group, and an academic advisor to the McKinsey Global Institute

Exclusively represented by Leading Authorities speakers bureau, Slaughter makes practical sense of economic data, forces, and policies to analyze current market trends and provide audiences with a near-term economic outlook as well as future global projections on how organizations can adapt, identify opportunities, and protect against risk.

Now in his third term as dean, Slaughter has reinvigorated the Tuck School with a widening array of programs that transform lives by creating trust-based, data-informed learning communities. Tuck’s flagship MBA program continues to deliver world-class learning and career success — all while being the only U.S. business school to freeze MBA tuition and fees for four years running. New degree and certificate programs have expanded access to groups including undergraduates, health professionals, minority and women entrepreneurs, military veterans, and Olympic athletes.

In the Tuck School of Business classrooms, Slaughter has received Dartmouth’s John M. Manley Huntington Teaching Award and Tuck’s Class of 2011 Teaching Excellence Award; his MBA elective course, Leadership in the Global Economy, recently won the Aspen Institute’s Ideas Worth Teaching Award.

Slaughter’s area of scholarly expertise is the economics and politics of globalization. Much of his recent work has focused on the global operations of multinational firms, on the labor-market impacts of globalization, and on public policies to build economic opportunity. He has published dozens of peer-reviewed scholarly articles and co-authored four books, all supported by several federal and foundation grants. From 2005 to 2007, Matt served as a member on Council of Economic Advisers in the Executive Office of the President. In this Senate-confirmed position he held the international portfolio, advising the President, the Cabinet, and others on issues including international trade and investment, immigration, and the competitiveness of the U.S. economy.

Slaughter regularly contributes op-ed columns and longer essays to leading global publications — including Foreign Affairs, The Financial Times, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post — and is a regular guest on many TV and radio programs including CNBC’s Squawk Box, PBS’s NewsHour, and NPR’s Morning Edition. He is a frequent keynote speaker to many audiences in the business and policy communities; he consults to companies and industry associations on a wide range of global issues; and through Congressional testimony and other forums he works, as a lifetime independent, with leaders of both parties.
