His research focuses on agricultural technology adoption and disadoption, consumer demand for genetically engineered foods, food security, economic development, and the industrial organization of food markets. Using empirical and econometric methods, he analyzes issues in agri-food economics, production economics, and price dynamics in supply chains.

The most recent publications reflect a strong trend in applied economic modelling and panel data analysis, with applications in Canadian agriculture. His work examines price transmission in beef markets during the pandemic, technical efficiency in dairy and logging industries, and the interplay between food and fuel markets. These studies contribute to policy-relevant insights on market stability, sustainability, and technological change.
