• When cities take control: Explaining the diversity of complex local climate actions

  Review of Policy Research · 2022-12-08 · 10 citations

  articleOpen accessSenior author

  Abstract Cities face substantial risks of economic and physical losses from repeated exposure to climate hazards exacerbated by climate change. Drawing from the climate action and policy mix literatures, this study conceptualizes “climate action mix” defined as the diverse policy actions adopted by city governments to adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate hazards.

• Influence of Task Complexity in Shaping Environmental Review and Engineering Design Durations

  Journal of Management in Engineering · 2018-08-22 · 8 citations

  articleCorresponding

  Timely completion of environmental reviews for transportation projects has been highlighted as a sore point for performance management by public agencies and industry alike. However, despite its importance, few academic studies investigate project-level performance during the environmental review and engineering design or examine which factors influence it significantly. In this study, we observed 560 transportation projects that the Georgia Department of Transportation completed from 2011 to 20…

• Steering the future: expert knowledge and stakeholder voices in autonomous vehicle policy reports

  Policy and Society · 2025-01-11 · 3 citations

  articleOpen access

  Abstract The anticipated arrival of autonomous vehicles has created considerable uncertainty for US states because they govern roads. In response, states activated their policy advisory systems. While policy advising at the national level has been studied, less is known about the sub-national level. Similarly, more is known about the use of scientific knowledge by policymakers than about the full range of knowledge deployed in policy advising. This study analyzes reports written for states to he…
