Anthony Delmond

Short Bio

I am an applied economist. Despite having broad interests, my research revolves primarily around aspects of consumer behavior and preferences, trade, and development, particularly regarding issues in food and agricultural marketing. My work utilizes a wide 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. My work addresses real-world problems, and my sincerest hope is that it has a tangible impact.
