ABOUT ME
As an applied economist with broad interests, my research revolves primarily around aspects of market power, brand development and perception, and sustainable practices, particularly in the area of food and agricultural marketing. My work utilizes a range of experimental methods for data collection -- from simple surveys and sensory analysis to intricate bargaining games -- and a host of econometric tools for analysis. Through my research and teaching, I hope to address real-world problems and to have a tangible, lasting impact.
