Arrhenius specializes in population ethics, focusing on axiological theories and the moral status of future generations. His research examines inequality, sustainability, and the challenges of valuing populations, often intersecting with economic theory and public policy.
His publications address paradoxes in moral theory, such as the Repugnant Conclusion, and integrate philosophical rigor with practical applications in health inequality measurement and democratic institutions. His work spans monographs and interdisciplinary collaborations.

He has presented extensively on population ethics and inequality at institutions like Princeton, Harvard, and Carnegie Mellon.
