Much of Kieran Donaghy’s teaching and research has involved constructing, estimating, and simulating nonlinear dynamic systems models to test theoretical propositions, evaluate policy interventions, and support planning decisions. Much (though not all) of this work has been of an applied nature addressing issues of housing, transportation, land use, the physical environment, economic conversion (of military facilities), employment, public finance, climate change, migration, and neighborhood ecology. He has also maintained an active interest in environmental and development ethics. A consultant to the World Bank, the European Commission, and other international and state and federal agencies, he served as the executive director of the Regional Science Association International from 1997 to 2003 and was the executive director of the Illinois European Union Center from 2001 to 2006.

research
Professor Donaghy's research interests center on:
- Globalization and inequality
- Climate change and environmental policy
- Macroeconomic policy coordination and dynamic games
- Regional economics
- Sustainable transport
- International conflict resolution
His specific recent research activities include:
- USEPA-funded project to develop modeling frameworks for forecasting emissions inventories
- Modeling the evolution of commodity flow patterns in the U.S. to test competing theories of the so-called "new economic geography"
- Developing an analysis of arguments for different redistributive schemes.
