Part of Binder's recent research centers around two IMFS-affiliated research projects: the FP7 European Commission project "Integrated Macro-Financial Modelling for Robust Policy Design (MACFINROBODS)" as well as the Sloan Foundation research project "Macroeconomic Model Comparison Initiative (MMCI).

More broadly, Binder's current research examines the implications of financial market structures for business cycle dynamics, output growth, and macroeconomic policy design. His research also involves the development of new econometric methods for panel data sets.
