She explores how individuals make decisions under uncertainty, particularly in the context of risk preferences and survey responses. Molinari's work addresses challenges such as misclassification, rounding, and missing data in economic surveys. Her research contributes to understanding how to construct robust statistical inference in the presence of incomplete or imprecise information. She has published extensively on topics such as random set theory, identification regions, and the estimation of risk preferences in field settings.
