Forskning
Dan-Olof Rooths forskning är i huvudsak inriktad mot arbetsmarknadsekonomi, och speciellt på olika former av diskriminering vid anställning. I denna forskning har såväl nationalekonomiska som socialpsykologiska modeller använts för att förklara arbetsgivares diskriminerande beteende. På senare tid har Dan-Olofs forskning även inriktats mot hälsoekonomi och politisk ekonomi.
Rooth driver ytterligare två projekt som har en något annorlunda inriktning. I det ena undersöks hur arbetslösa söker efter och får arbete. Skillnader i utfallet mellan inrikes och utrikes födda är i fokus. I det andra projektet undersöks skillnader i arbetsmarknadsutfall mellan män och kvinnor inom akademin.
