Her research interests are centered on food access, consumer store choice, and food retailer marketing behavior.<\/p>\n<p>Her dissertation examined households&#8217; choices of food retailers and how food retailers&#8217; marketing strategy outcomes, such as the availability of food items, might exacerbate the hardships consumers face living in food deserts.<\/p>\n<p>Chenarides is actively involved in scholarly associations, including the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association, American Economic Association, and Northeast Agricultural and Resource Economics Association. Her most recent research, published in Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, explored the relationships between store formats, market structure, and consumers&#8217; food shopping decisions.<\/p>\n<p>Her research is motivated by persistent disparities in households\u2019 food access, food choices, and health outcomes. Her general hypothesis is that many observed disparities cannot be adequately explained unless consumers\u2019 demand-side behaviors and firms\u2019 supply-side behaviors are both fully examined.<\/p>\n<p>To investigate these issues, Chenarides most often works with micro-level scanner data that record both firms\u2019 behavior, which are reflected by prices and product offerings, and consumers\u2019 actions, which are reflected by store and product choices. While secondary data is at the core of Chenarides\u2019 empirical research, she also utilizes primary data from consumer intercept surveys.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Research interests<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>The effects of market concentration on food retailer price markups<\/li>\n<li>The major drivers of food retailer competition and profitability across the U.S.<\/li>\n<li>Public policies to improve consumer welfare in urban food deserts<\/li>\n<li>How each additional mile traveled to a supermarket affects the quantity and quality of healthy food items purchased<\/li>\n<li>Whether online food shopping results in less food waste than traditional \u201coffline\u201d shopping at supermarkets<\/li>\n<li>The effectiveness of promotional activities on the sale of specialty crops in Arizona and California<\/li>\n<li>Food security in Native American communities in Arizona, and opportunities within the food supply network to address these<br>and other relevant concerns<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Student Activities<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Faculty director on WPC 392 Business in Costa Rica, a field course that takes students through the coffee supply chain in Costa Rica<\/li>\n<li>Future Farmers of America Food Safety Competition chair (Fall 2017)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Publications<\/h4>\n<p>Chenarides, L., and Jaenicke, E.C.

In developing their marketing plan, students follow the same practices and principles used by today\u2019s marketing professionals. Teams submit a written plan summary prior to the competition and then make a formal presentation of their marketing plan to a panel of judges at the competition. Overall, approximately 30 student NAMA chapters from all over the country and Canada attend the conference and participate in the competition. The competition is part of the National Agri-Marketing Association\u2019s annual conference and trade show. The marketing competition is a great learning tool for these students and provides them with some really good practical experience.<\/p>\n\n\n<h4>Publications<\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\">Dumitrescu C., R.
