Credible Research Designs for Minimum Wage Studies
Allegretto, Sylvia; Dube, Arindrajit; Reich, Michael; … - 2013
We assess alternative research designs for minimum wage studies. States in the U.S. with larger minimum wage increases differ from others in business cycle severity, increased inequality and polarization, political economy, and regional distribution. The resulting time-varying heterogeneity...

Do frictions matter in the labor market? Accessions, separations and minimum wage effects
Dube, Arindrajit; Lester, T. William; Reich, Michael - 2011
We measure labor market frictions using a strategy that bridges design-based and structural approaches: estimating an equilibrium search model using reduced-form minimum wage elasticities identified from border discontinuities and fitted with Bayesian and LIML methods. We begin by providing the...

Estimating the Effects of the Minimum Wage Using the Introduction of Indexation
Kawaguchi, Daiji; Mori, Yuko - 2021
We examine the impacts of the minimum wage on employment using the minimum-wage hike induced by the introduction of indexation of the local minimum wage to the local cost of living. The revision of the Minimum Wage Act in 2007 of Japan essentially required the government to set the minimum wage...

The insider-outsider theory: a survey
Lindbeck, Assar; Snower, Dennis J. - 2002
This article is an idiosyncratic survey of the insider-outsider theory, describing the vision underlying the theory, and evaluating salient contributions to the literature in the light of this vision. We also indicate what appear to have been dead-ends and red herrings in past research. The...
