Dr. Villalobos' dissertation, “Presidential-Bureaucratic Management and Policy Making Success in Congress,” Villalobos examined eleven presidential administrations from 1949-2007 to explore how presidents can employ agency input to balance their managerial and information needs and costs in a manner that maximizes their likelihood of policy success in Congress.  His dissertation work was chosen for the 2009 George C. Edwards III Dissertation Award granted by the Presidency Research Group of the American Political Science Association for best dissertation on the U.S. Presidency.
