Each year, the Economics Network of the Higher Education Academy gives out awards to recognise and reward exemplary practice from within the UK academic economics community. Dr Allanson has received a commendation in the Student Nominated teaching award category, which provides an opportunity for economics students to identify and honour the most inspiring and dedicated teaching staff in their department. On receiving the commendation, Paul said that he would like to thank the students who had thought to put his name forward for the award, which had come as "a complete surprise" to him.
