Research interests include behavioral contract theory, reproducibility in management science, and the interplay between social status and belief formation. His recent work (2024) explores how agents distort probabilities in incentive contracts and the implications for optimal design. Other studies address loss aversion in bonuses and the effects of poverty exposure on productivity. He has also examined how self-chosen goals influence performance across genders.

Notably, his articles emphasize non-expected utility frameworks and experimental validation of economic theories, contributing to both theoretical and applied domains in behavioral economics.
