Specialization: Food and Health Economics
My research explores household decision-making at the intersection of food and health. I study how families make choices about what they eat, how they invest in their health, and the connection between these choices — specifically how nutrition and food insecurity impacts well-being. I am particularly interested in how households make tradeoffs between time and money when making decisions about food and health. This includes the demand for convenience in the form of online grocery shopping, restaurant meals, and ultra processed foods. I’m also interested in how public policies influence these decisions. The goal of my work is to deepen our understanding of household behavior around food and health, and to generate insights that can inform effective, evidence-based policy making.
