In his current work, Maciejovsky is specifically interested in three major themes: (i) group decisions, learning, and knowledge transfer; (ii) information aggregation in social and organizational environments, and (iii) bargaining and negotiation. To study these areas, he mainly uses laboratory experiments with human participants and computer simulations. His regular collaborators include Dan Ariely, David Budescu, Werner Güth, Erich Kirchler, Markus Reitzig, and Birger Wernerfelt.
