Allison joined the Office of Applied Economics in July of 2008 as an economist. She primarily works on the productivity measurement of the construction industry. She is also part of the team that examines the economic benefits of Service Life Prediction (SLP) for polymeric building materials. Earlier in 2008, Allison finished her Ph.D. studies with a National Science Foundation Integrative Graduate Education and Research Training (IGERT) Fellowship in Economics and Environmental Science. Her dissertation examined how legislators voted on environmental issues, both at the state level and at the national level. This research demonstrated empirically that legislators tended to vote more moderately on environmental issues to cater to voters when elections were close in sight. When electoral pressure was turned off due to term limits, legislators tended to vote more extremely on environmental issues. These shifts in voting behaviors were more pronounced when elections were competitive. These results demonstrate environmental issues do play a role in electoral politics. Allison has worked for the Los Alamos National Laboratory, and she has also worked as an environmental engineer in the private sector. She has published journal articles in microbiology and hydrology. |
