Professor Rubí Barceló's research focuses on Game Theory and Behavioral Economics, with significant contributions to understanding strategic decision-making, group conflicts, and bargaining dynamics. His work bridges theoretical economics with practical applications in political economy, environmental policy, and social choice. The research demonstrates particular strength in modeling heterogeneous group behavior, contest theory, and coalition formation within complex strategic environments.

His publication record shows consistent output in top-tier economics journals including Theory and Decision, Social Choice and Welfare, Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization, and Public Choice. The research portfolio reveals evolving interests from foundational game theory (2012-2014) toward increasingly applied contexts involving policy-making, environmental regulation, and social polarization (2016-2024), while maintaining rigorous theoretical underpinnings.

Professor Rubí Barceló actively contributes to two major research groups: the Decision Science (DSL) group and the Strategic Conflict and Interaction (CIE) group, both recognized as consolidated R&D&I structures. His teaching portfolio centers on strategic decision-making, with primary responsibility for the 'Games and Strategic Decisions' course across multiple degree programs including Economics, Tourism, and Mathematics, as well as supervising Economics thesis projects.
