His academic work focuses on energy economics, labor economics, and econometrics, with particular expertise in discrete choice experiments and statistical analysis using Stata, R, and Qualtrics.

His research interests span several critical areas of contemporary economic policy. In energy economics, he investigates carbon taxation, residential heating demand, and transportation energy consumption. His labor economics research focuses on cross-border workers, minimum wage impacts, and labor market dynamics. He has developed methodological expertise in panel data analysis, structural equation modeling, and discrete choice experiments.

His recent publications show a strong focus on climate policy effectiveness, with several 2023-2024 publications analyzing carbon taxation, decarbonization pathways, and energy efficiency investments. His work often combines rigorous econometric analysis with policy relevance, frequently examining the interaction between economic behavior and environmental policy.

His research has been applied across multiple significant projects including the TEXTS project on solar green roofs (2023), the DECARB project on policy instruments for decarbonization (2024), and several studies on minimum wage impacts in Geneva.

Weber Sylvain collaborates extensively with researchers across Swiss institutions, particularly with colleagues at the University of Geneva and other HES-SO schools. His work often addresses practical policy questions while maintaining strong methodological rigor.

He teaches courses in Business Economics, Forecasting, and Microeconomics at both bachelor's and master's levels at the Geneva School of Management, contributing to the HES-SO Master in Business Administration program.
