Baranski's research integrates game theory and experimental economics to examine collective decision-making processes where cooperation and coordination are critical. His work highlights the importance of equity and fairness in achieving efficient outcomes and explores the endogenous emergence of these principles, as well as institutional conditions favoring efficient self-organization over centralized authority.

Kagel in the Journal of the Economic Science Association (2015), 'Collective Redistribution' in the American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (2016), 'Endogenous Timing of Profit-Sharing Negotiations and Production' in Experimental Economics (2019), 'A Comprehensive Analysis of Baron and Ferejohn Majoritarian Bargaining Experiments' with Rebecca Morton in Experimental Economics (2022), and 'Communication in Multilateral Bargaining with Joint Production' with Caleb A. Cox in Experimental Economics (2023). Additional forthcoming work includes 'Majoritarian Bargaining over Budgetary Divisions and Policy' with Nicholas Haas and Rebecca Morton in the Journal of Politics.
