Modern difference-in-differences, same old answer : what event-study estimates really tell us about the effects of minimum wages on jobs

Neumark, David; Rodríguez López, Antonio - 2026

Two prominent publications in the recent minimum wage literature argue that estimation of the employment effects of minimum wages should use "clean" event-study designs, and that doing so leads to the conclusion that minimum wages have very limited, if any, effects on employment. We explore the...

Fertility Timing, Wages, and Human Capital

Blackburn, McKinley L.; Bloom, David E.; Neumark, David - 2022

Women who have first births relatively late in life earn higher wages. This paper offers an explanation of this fact based on a staple life-cycle model of human capital investment and timing of first birth. The model yields conditions (that are plausibly satisfied) under which late childbearers...

Relative Income Concerns and the Rise in Married Women's Employment

Neumark, David; Postlewaite, Andrew - 2022

We ask whether women's decisions to be in the labor force may be affected by the decisions of other women in ways not captured by standard models. We develop a model that augments the simple neoclassical framework by introducing relative income concerns into women's (or families') utility...
