Nicole Olynk Widmar's research examines how consumers, the public, and markets respond to issues in food, agriculture, and animal industries, including public perceptions of animal welfare, environmental and social investing (ESG), veterinary care access, and food pricing. Her work often uses surveys, social media/online listening analysis, and choice experiments to study consumer behavior and economic decision-making around agricultural and food supply chains. Recent work also touches on retirement savings, university public perception during COVID-19, and consumer data more broadly.
