In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary scientific interests are in Social psychology, Econometrics, Social preferences, Microeconomics and Trustworthiness.
His studies deal with areas such as Preference and Action as well as Social psychology.
His work on Revealed preference as part of general Econometrics research is frequently linked to Response time and Random utility models, bridging the gap between disciplines.
His work deals with themes such as Political agenda, Sociality, Public economics and Direct democracy, which intersect with Social preferences.
His work is connected to Incomplete contracts and Incentive, as a part of Microeconomics.
While the research belongs to areas of Enforcement, Ernst Fehr spends his time largely on the problem of Norm, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Welfare, Peer punishment and Positive economics.
Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Redefine statistical significance (993 citations)
- Genome-wide association analyses of risk tolerance and risky behaviors in over 1 million individuals identify hundreds of loci and shared genetic influences (189 citations)
- The brain’s functional network architecture reveals human motives (67 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Law
- Social psychology
- Microeconomics
His main research concerns Social psychology, Cognitive psychology, Econometrics, Statistical significance and Genome-wide association study.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Cognition and Slippery slope in addition to Social psychology.
His research on Cognitive psychology also deals with topics like
- Ventral striatum together with Happiness, Pledge, Empathy, Altruism and Functional networks,
- Functional magnetic resonance imaging, which have a strong connection to Temptation, Intertemporal choice, Child development, Prefrontal cortex and Ventromedial prefrontal cortex.
He works mostly in the field of Econometrics, limiting it down to topics relating to Preference and, in certain cases, Value, as a part of the same area of interest.
Ernst Fehr combines subjects such as SNP and Genetic association with his study of Genome-wide association study.
The concepts of his Value study are interwoven with issues in Incentive, Microeconomics, Neuroeconomics, Resource and Time allocation.
