Research interests
My work covers the analysis of entire agrifood supply chains operation (agriculture, processing, distribution, retailing and consumption) and their environment including issues such as production, marketing, food policy analysis, market structure, trade, demand analysis. My areas of interest are related to my PhD areas of specialisation, namely: industrial organisation, international trade, and econometrics. Specifically:
- The empirical analysis of agrifood supply chain responses to changes in policy.
- The operation and performance of agrifood supply chains and their implications for the farming sector in developed and developing countries.
- Analysis of consumers’ food and drink demand using large, detailed household datasets
- Uptake of new food and drink products by consumers.
- Additionally, other research interests are in areas related to development economics, such as food policy, nutrition, and poverty.
