- Research interests
-
Wyn’s main interests lie in the economics of food with a number of different emphases. Price transmission along imperfectly competitive supply chains showing the impact of scale economies and health scares in affecting pricing behaviour.
Explaining food price inflation in the UK and EU along with transparency of pricing in food chains has been supported by funding from DEFRA and more recently the EU via the TRANSFOP programme.
He is keen to supervise PhD students in the area of food price dynamics or commodity market behaviour.
