[1] Weber's general area of research is game theory, with a primary focus on the effects of private information in competitive settings.
Since 1993, he has represented private clients during both the rule-making and bidding phases of the FCC's sale of licenses of spectrum for the provision of personal communications services.
This alternative, which he named "approval voting", a multi-candidate binary rating system of social choice,[3] has generated a substantial body of research, has been adopted by a number of professional organizations, and has been used in several public elections.
Among his activities have been preparation of a research survey for the American Arbitration Association, and development of classroom materials for the National Institute for Dispute Resolution.
He is a founding member of the Center for Research on Dispute Resolution at Northwestern University, and has served on the editorial board of the International Journal of Game Theory [de].
