Dr. Siegenthaler's research focuses on Experimental Economics, with particular emphasis on bargaining dynamics, pay inequality, and leadership effectiveness. His work investigates how risk exposure, communication, and institutional design influence decision-making in controlled environments. Recent studies explore multi-issue bargaining, prosocial leadership, and social tipping points.

His publications demonstrate a strong commitment to advancing behavioral economics through laboratory experiments, examining topics like information asymmetry, norm change, and prosocial behavior. Articles such as "Risk Exposure and the Legitimacy of Unequal Leader Pay" (2025) and "Pathways to prosocial leadership" (2024) highlight his interdisciplinary approach combining economics, psychology, and organizational science.
