Multiple Equilibria and Minimum Wages in Labor Markets with Informational Frictions and Heterogeneous Production Technologies
den Berg, Gerard J. van - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2003
It is often argued that a mandatory minimum wage is binding only if the wage density displays a spike at it. In this paper we analyze a model with search frictions and heterogeneous production technologies, in which imposition of a minimum wage affects wages even though, after imposition, the...

Canonical Correlation and Assortative Matching: A Remark
Dupuy, Arnaud; Galichon, Alfred - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2012
In the context of the Beckerian theory of marriage, when men and women match on a single-dimensional index that is the weighted sum of their respective multivariate attributes, many papers in the literature have used linear canonical correlation, and related techniques, in order to estimate...
