During 1998-99, he was a member of the Congressionally mandated National Academy of Sciences (Transportation Research Board) Committee for a Study of Competition in the U.S. Airline Industry. Before coming to Northeastern in 1982, he was an Assistant Professor at the University of British Columbia. He has also held visiting positions at Harvard, MIT, the London School of Economics, and the Brookings Institution. Morrison is the author of numerous articles on transportation economics and air transportation and he is co-author (with Clifford Winston) of The Economic Effects of Airline Deregulation (1986) and The Evolution of the Airline Industry (1995), both published by the Brookings Institution. He has written many op-ed pieces for newspapers and has testified before Congress on airline competition matters on numerous occasions. In 2003 the Transportation and Public Utilities Group of the American Economic Association (TPUG) presented him with its "Distinguished Member" award, which is given to members "who have made significant contributions to the field and to the Transportation and Public Utilities Group during their careers." In 2008, the Transportation Research Forum presented him with its "Distinguished Transportation Researcher" award. Morrison received a B.A. in Economics from the University of Florida and a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of California, Berkeley.
