His research centers on institutional economics, the methodology of economic research, and the interplay between government and market structures. He has published in prominent journals such as Cambridge Journal of Economics and Regional and Federal Studies, with a particular focus on institutional individualism, governance, and economic explanation.

The available publications indicate a strong thematic consistency in institutional theory and economic methodology, with interdisciplinary reach into political economy and philosophy of social science. His 2001 article on institutional individualism was influential enough to be reprinted in a 2005 volume on social research methods.

Fernando Toboso has contributed significantly to academic discourse through collaborative books and postgraduate teaching, including courses on Organization and Institutional Change in the Public Sector and Introduction to Economic Research. He has also evaluated doctoral theses and research projects and served as an external reviewer for journals such as Publius - The Journal of Federalism and Constitutional Political Economy.

He directed a successful summer course at UIMP (Valencia), featuring leading figures in institutional economics like Thrainn Eggertsson and Claude Menard. His teaching includes economic policy, the Spanish and European economies, and the organization of tourism markets, which he teaches in English.

His research group and academic activities suggest an active role in promoting institutional and methodological rigor in economics. While no lab or formal research center is named, his collaborations and editorial contributions indicate leadership in institutional economics networks.
