Her research interests include:

• Microeconomics
• Industrial Organization
• Regulations
• Applied Game Theory

Herzing teaches microeconomic and game theory courses while conducting research focused on strategic interactions in regulated environments. His work examines how inspections and enforcement mechanisms affect market competition, particularly in oligopolistic settings, with significant contributions to understanding compliance behavior and welfare effects of regulatory interventions.

Herzing's publication record spans diverse applications from trade agreements to pandemic response, with recent work concentrating on environmental regulation. His analytical approach consistently combines economic theory with game-theoretic modeling to reveal how strategic firm behavior influences the effectiveness of regulatory policies.

His research has been published in leading journals including the Journal of Economic Theory, Health Economics, Resources and Energy Economics, and the Canadian Journal of Economics, demonstrating both theoretical rigor and practical relevance to policy design.
