Dr. Carmi's scholarship principally deals with comparative constitutional law, focusing on freedom of expression. Among his publications are articles in the Boston University International Law Journal, the University of Pennsylvania Journal of Constitutional Law, and the Connecticut Journal of International Law.

Dr. Carmi's doctoral dissertation titled "Dignity and Liberty: Differing Approaches to Free Speech in Germany, The United States and Israel" won The Gorney Prize for Young Researchers in the field of Public Law of The Israeli Association of Public Law. In his dissertation, Dr. Carmi examines the question whether freedom of expression is primarily based upon the value of human dignity or on the value of liberty, as well as the question how relying on either of these values affects the perception of freedom of expression and its protection. The dissertation examines these questions under three legal systems: Germany, the United States, and Israel. Freedom of expression in Israel is examined in light of the comparative research. The research indicates that only after the 1992 Constitutional Revolution, the Supreme Court established that human dignity, as interpreted in Basic Law: Human Dignity and Liberty, includes freedom of expression. Dr. Carmi reaches the conclusion that the link between freedom of expression and human dignity, despite the fact that such link was intended to strengthen freedom of expression, has actually weakened it. He offers ways to buttress freedom of expression in Israel, including the possibility of anchoring freedom of expression in the value of liberty of men.
