Biography

Tim Lloyd is Professor of Economics in the Business School. He was appointed in July 2015 having previously been Associate Professor in the School of Economics at the University of Nottingham. Professor Lloyd’s research interests lie in the fields of agricultural and food economics, particularly pricing, diet and health and competition in the food industry.

Recent work, funded by both the European Commission and the UK’s Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) has focused on the transmission of prices through the food chain and food price inflation in the UK and other Member States. Much of this work involves the econometric analysis of high frequency data from commodity markets and supermarket barcode scanners. He is currently collaborating in projects with researchers at the Universities of Exeter, Sheffield, Southampton and Liverpool-Xi'an Jiaotong in China.

Professor Lloyd serves on DEFRA’s Economics Advisory Panel, the Executive Committee of the Agricultural Economics Society (AES) and the European Agricultural and Applied Economics Publications (EAAEP) Foundation...

Research

My research interests lie primarily in the fields of agricultural and food economics and applied econometrics. My current work focuses on the concepts and empirical analysis of issues relevant to the UK food chain, namely, price transmission, food inflation and the links between food and health. The work often analyses retail scanner data, and current projects involve collaboration with colleagues at Exeter (McCorriston and Lin), Liverpool Xi'an Jiaotong (Lan) and Southampton (Smith and Alwan). These projects have attracted funding from an EU Framework 7 programme grant (2011-2013), the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (2011; 2017-2019) and National Institute for Health and Medical Research (2021-2023). I am also collaborating on a project on food scares and risk using behavioural economics (Starmer and Masters at Nottingham and Manchester respectively). At BU I have recently joined the Business School's Centre for Sustainable and Socially Responsible Consumption and have worked closely with Disegna (now at Padua, Italy) and two former PhD students on food and health.
