Measuring the Labor Market at the Onset of the COVID-19 Crisis (2020, positive): “This suggests that (as in the Great Recession; see Rothstein 2011) concerns about moral hazard effects may be overstated, and that labor demand is the more important determinant of employment outcomes thus far.”
Optimal unemployment insurance in an equilibrium business-cycle model (2015, background): “In particular, the recent studies by Farber and Valletta (2014) and Rothstein (2011) have both found that the unprecedented extensions of unemployment benefits in the Great Recession have had very modest effects.”
Regulating Household Leverage (2019, neutral): “…included direct fiscal stimulus (Chodorow-Reich et al., 2012; Mian and Sufi, 2012; Berger et al., 2016), large extensions to unemployment benefits (Rothstein, 2011; Hagedorn et al., 2013; Chodorow-Reich and Karabarbounis, 2016), unconventional monetary policy (Krishnamurthy and Vissing-Jorgensen,…”
Does Extending Unemployment Benefits Improve Job Quality? (2017, background): “Non-employment duration is defined as the number of days between two consecutive employment spells (Solon (1979), Card et al. (2007b) and Rothstein (2011)).”

Potential Unemployment Insurance Duration and Labor Supply: The Individual and Market-Level Response to a Benefit Cut (2016, positive): “This is a large effect, larger than that in several studies using nationally representative data (e.g., Rothstein 2011; Farber et al. 2015) but close to that in Hagedorn et al. (2015), who estimate that EUC expiration resulted in 954,000 fewer unemployed.31 Another finding in our paper is that the…”
Consumer Spending during Unemployment: Positive and Normative Implications (2019, positive): “After adjusting for these two issues, our income estimates are similar to those reported for a representative sample of UI recipients by Rothstein and Valetta (2017).”
