His research focuses on microeconomic theory, particularly bargaining theory, and experimental economics, exploring topics like the Coase conjecture, reputational dynamics, and strategic mediation.

Research interests include analyzing dynamic bargaining scenarios, mediation strategies, and fairness norms in economic interactions.
