Lindbeck has done research on unemployment (e.g. the [[insider–outsider theory of employment]]), the welfare state (including the effect of changing social norms and its interaction with economic incentives{{Cite web|title=Assar Lindbeck|url=https://www.amacad.org/person/assar-lindbeck|access-date=2021-12-09|website=American Academy of Arts & Sciences|language=en}}), and China's reformed economy.

Assar Lindbeck also has a theory on self-destructive welfare state dynamics, in which the welfare system erodes norms relating to work and responsibility: change in the [[work ethic]] is related to a rising dependence on welfare state institutions. It was on the basis of this viewpoint that he promoted the economic theories of conservative American theorist [[James McGill Buchanan]]. It is said that it was through Lindbeck's influence at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences that Buchanan was awarded the 1986 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, a decision which was criticized by the British writer and columnist [[George Monbiot]] in 2017.{{cite web|title=A despot in disguise: one man's mission to rip up democracy|work=The Guardian|author=George Monbiot|url=https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/jul/19/despot-disguise-democracy-james-mcgill-buchanan-totalitarian-capitalism|date=July 20, 2017|accessdate=May 31, 2018}} |
