Dr. Dallmeyer's research interests focus on sports economics, cost-benefit analysis in sport, injury financial impact, and resilience in sports organizations. His work often intersects public health, labor economics, and policy, particularly in evaluating how economic interventions affect physical activity and athlete sustainability.

The 15 most recent publications reflect a strong trend in analyzing the economic consequences of injuries in professional sports, the impact of crises (e.g., pandemics, natural disasters) on sports clubs, and return on investment in prevention and physical activity programs. Topics span from financial modeling in football to macro-level assessments of sports' societal value.

Dr. Dallmeyer has been involved in multiple externally funded projects, including EU Erasmus+ initiatives and evaluations of match-fixing prevention. He collaborates extensively with leading scholars such as Prof. Christoph Breuer and Svenja Feiler. Though no formal advising role is documented, his collaborative output suggests mentorship and team-based research leadership.
