She was nominated to her post at the CBO at the suggestion of then Republican congressman John Kasich, but her term as CBO director ended early to return to Baruch college amid Republican complaints that the CBO refused to use the more favorable but controversial dynamic scoring for forecasting and scoring republican-proposed legislation.[3] She was later commended by the Senate for her service.[4]
She has published extensively in economics,[5] served as the Vice President of the American Economic Association in 1998,[6] and was on their Executive Board of the Committee on the Status of Women in the Economics Profession from 1988 until 1991.
