Research Profile

Studies the operation of domestic and international food systems including the economics of food quality, especially the quality attributes of safety and nutrition as well as the economics of certification, traceability, and labeling for quality attributes. Projects include prioritization of different foodborne risks; whether regulatory programs will enhance food safety at a reasonable cost; how benefit and risk information can be balanced and effectively communicated to consumers; and how international trade agreements influence food quality.

Research Profile

Prof. Chan conducts research in the areas of diffusion of innovations among consumers, and innovation in firms. In consumers the focus is upon word-of-mouth influence effects, in particular those effects that rely upon links between people that are most acknowledged, and those that are most receptive. His work in firm innovation considers which technical and formal mechanisms can be relied upon to adopt and develop the right technologies at the right time. He is currently examining the effect of process compliance in firms and supply chains upon innovation capability.
