Research areas  include research evaluation, economic analysis of the R&D, innovation and productivity, public sector innovation, quality work in higher education, and policy relevant indicators of science and innovation.

Most recently, Carter’s work has focused on how research and innovation funding programs are designed and how they shape research and its scientific and societal impacts. As part of this work, he has lead the PROSECON project funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation and has contributed to a number of other studies of innovative funding programs such as ODIN, the Villum Experiment and the recently started Plant2Food project.
