Bernstein, Joshua; Richter, Alexander W.; Throckmorton, Nathaniel A. (2020-07-14)
When new businesses are created, they generate new jobs. When unprofitable businesses close, employees lose their jobs. Given the connection between firm entry and exit and changes in employment, it is natural to ask how this entry and exit affects the broader business cycle.

Unemployment Insurance during a Pandemic
Xie, Zoe; Nie, Jun (2020-08-06)
The CARES Act implemented in response to the COVID-19 crisis dramatically increased the generosity of unemployment insurance (UI) benefits, triggering concerns about substantial effects on unemployment. This paper combines a labor market search-matching model with the SIR-type infection dynamics to study the effects of the CARES Act UI on both unemployment and infection. More generous UI policies create work disincentives and lead to higher unemployment but also reduce infection and save lives. Economic shutdown policies further amplify these effects of UI policies. Quantitatively, the CARES ...

Did State Reopenings Increase Consumer Spending?
Chakrabarti, Rajashri; Heise, Sebastian; Melcangi, Davide; Pinkovskiy, Maxim L.; Topa, Giorgio (2020-09-18)
The spread of COVID-19 in the United States has had a profound impact on economic activity. Beginning in March, most states imposed severe restrictions on households and businesses to slow the spread of the virus. This was followed by a gradual loosening of restrictions (“reopening”) starting in April. As the virus has re-emerged, a number of states have taken steps to reverse the reopening of their economies. For example, Texas and Florida closed bars again in June, and Arizona additionally paused operations of gyms and movie theatres. Taken together, these measures raise the question of ...

Working Paper
Corporate Bond Liquidity During the COVID-19 Crisis
Lester, Benjamin; Weill, Pierre-Olivier; Kargar, Mahyar; Lindsay, David; Liu, Shuo; Zuniga, Diego (2020-11-12)
We study liquidity conditions in the corporate bond market during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the effects of the unprecedented interventions by the Federal Reserve. We find that, at the height of the crisis, liquidity conditions deteriorated substantially, as dealers appeared unwilling to absorb corporate debt onto their balance sheets. In particular, we document that the cost of risky-principal trades increased by a factor of five, forcing traders to shift to slower, agency trades. The announcements of the Federal Reserve’s interventions coincided with substantial improvements in trading ...
