Shapiro鈥檚 published and ongoing research lies at the intersection between economics and public policy. More specifically, he attempts to understand how national innovation systems are formed and contribute to sustainable development, how environmental and energy issues are addressed and impacted by relevant policies and political forces, and how communications from politicians, scientists, and the media impact both of these areas. In political science, these concerns fall under the purview of science, technology, and environmental politics (STEP), information technology and politics (ITP), and East Asian political economy.

Shapiro鈥檚 work has been published in Energy Policy, The Pacific Review, Environment & Planning: A, American Politics Research, Environmental Communication, Journal of Information Technology and Politics,International Journal of Public Policy, and Scientometrics among others. He teaches courses in innovation policy, energy policy, East Asian political economy, research methods, and the politics of science and technology for the Department of Social Sciences.
