#' Data on department allocations
#' 
#' This dataset includes data on department allocations (1958-2021). There is
#' one observation per department allocation per Commission (i.e., one
#' observation per department per Commissioner per Commission). A new
#' observation is created every time a change in the portfolio of a
#' Commissioner leads to a change in who oversees a department. There can be
#' multiple observations per individual per Commission if an individual
#' oversees multiple departments or if the individual's portfolio changes
#' during the Commission. Department allocations do not span Commissions. If a
#' Commissioner oversees the same department for more than one Commission,
#' there will be multiple observations, one for each Commission. The dataset
#' indicates the start and end dates of each department allocation and the
#' policy areas that correspond to each department.
