Economist careers at the Agency

The Agency's economists apply their technical knowledge and skills to vital, fundamental policy questions. For example, whether to fortify flour with folic acid, assessing new food hygiene pilot schemes or feeding into the process of deciding the future of TV advertising of high fat, salt and sugar foods to children.

Economists help to develop the Agency's policy and regulatory responses, for example, by quantifying the costs and benefits associated with proposed policies.
