In 1998, together with economist Reiner Clement, Peren created the Peren-Clement Index, a world-leading country risk analysis index in corporate practice , and ASTERIG (Assessment Tool to Measure and Evaluate the Risk Potential of Gambling Products), a leading global assessment tool for measuring and estimating the risk potential of gambling products

In 2012, Peren created the Peren Theorem at the Columbia University, New York, USA:

"If the users within a closed system employ its natural resources in such measure that its natural regeneration is exceeded over the long term, then the natural environment of this system will be completely exhausted”.

Franz W. Peren: Das Peren-Theorem. In: Franz W. Peren: Unsustainable Future: The Mathematical Frame in Which We Live. In: Review of Business: Interdisciplinary Journal on Risk and Society, 39(2), 2019, S. 32-35

The Peren theorem mathematizes the logical causality between limited regenerative natural resources on the one hand and a steadily growing human population on the other. It makes it clear with no doubt that consumption and economic globalization must be fundamentally restructured if humans want to preserve their grounded existence. As a derivative to the Peren theorem, Peren published the essay Unsustainable Future: The Mathematical Frame in Which We Live in July 2019, which describes the sustainability of the Earth mathematically in a closed system
