Delighted to have been awarded Best Paper Prize at CJBS Doctoral Conference for my work, Explaining the Gluten Free Price Premium. I use structural models to decompose GF price premium into underlying drivers, to inform policy on reducing gap. Also honoured to have received Best Teaching Prize!

Hi #econsky, I'm Rhys, a first year PhD student at Cambridge. My research looks at competition policy in an empirical sense to evaluate whether policies are working or not. Looking forward to interacting on here!
