Stegmaier's research explores economic failure in companies, robot adoption's impact on labor markets, trade shocks, and structural change in industries. His work often combines empirical analysis with theoretical models to assess employment outcomes, wage trends, and worker adaptability.

Stegmaier's publications cover topics like robot adoption, trade shocks, and displacement effects. His recent studies (2024) analyze job-task intensity and regional labor market adjustment, while earlier works (2023, 2017) address bankruptcies and policy interventions for displaced workers.

Stegmaier is part of the IWH research network and works in the IAB's Department of Structural Change and Productivity. His collaborations with institutions like the IAB and IWH highlight his focus on empirical labor economics and industrial dynamics.
