Dr. Schwarz's research focuses on applied microeconomics with particular emphasis on policy-relevant questions. His work uniquely combines causal inference strategies with text analysis, machine learning, and data science techniques to address pressing societal issues. He is particularly interested in how digital platforms shape political behavior and social dynamics.

His publication portfolio reveals a strong trend toward investigating the societal impacts of social media, with increasing focus on hate speech, political polarization, and electoral outcomes. The research demonstrates methodological innovation through the development of specialized Stata commands for text analysis, bridging computational linguistics and traditional economic inquiry.

Dr. Schwarz actively contributes to advancing methodological approaches in economics through his software development work, creating tools that enable more sophisticated text-based economic research.

He maintains an active research agenda exploring the complex relationship between digital communication platforms and real-world socioeconomic phenomena, with recent work examining how online discourse translates to offline behaviors including hate crimes and voting patterns.
