Jesse M. RothsteinAssistant Professor of Economics and Public Affairs, Woodrow Wilson School
|
Jesse Rothstein is an Assistant Professor of Economics and Public Affairs at Princeton University and a Faculty Research Fellow of the National Bureau of Economic Research. A public and labor economist, his research focuses on education and tax policy, and particularly on the way that public institutions ameliorate or reinforce the effects of children's families on their academic and economic outcomes. Much of his research examines racial gaps in educational progress. His studies in this area include an examination (with Albert Yoon) of the role of affirmative action in legal education and an assessment (with Alan Krueger and Sarah Turner) of Justice O'Connor's prediction in Grutter v. Bollinger that affirmative action will be unnecessary within a quarter century. He also studies the causes and consequences of racial segregation and the role of housing markets in allocating access to good schools. He has a Ph.D. in economics and a Masters in Public Policy, both from the University of California, Berkeley. |
