Halali investigates judgment and decision-making processes, focusing on heuristics and biases, social preferences (altruism, fairness, trust, reciprocity), and cooperation/competition dynamics within and between groups. His research examines dual-process interplay (intuition vs. reasoning, emotion regulation, cognitive control) using methodologies from behavioral economics, social and cognitive psychology, and neuroscience. He explores how these processes influence ethical behavior and conflict resolution.

Halali has secured multiple research grants, including a 2024–2029 Israeli Science Foundation grant for intergenerational commitment mechanisms, and collaborations with Oren Perez, Sarit Kraus, and Yuval Feldman. His work also involves AI applications in multi-agent decision analysis and conflict intervention strategies.
