Food Economics: Consumer Behavior

Consumer behavior in food markets is more complex than "voting with your fork." In this course, students examine theoretical tools of consumer behavior, including how consumer preferences, prices and income inform individual choice, and apply those tools to food markets and systems. Applications vary by term. Past applications include the impacts of racial discrimination, gender pay gap, food support systems, and others. No previous economics coursework required.
