Der Traum vom Mindestlohn: Ein Ländervergleich
Tiltag, Andreas - 2007
Ein gesetzlicher Mindestlohn erzeugt Träume. Positiv sieht er so aus: jede arbeitende Person verdient genug, um aus … einen Mindestlohn und keine hohe Arbeitslosigkeit. Unberücksichtigt in dieser Aussage bleibt der Einfluss anderer …). Es zeigt sich, dass ein Mindestlohn nur im Zusammenhang mit anderen Regelungen auf dem Arbeitsmarkt zutreffend beurteilt …

The elasticity of labor demand and the minimum wage
Danziger, Leif (contributor) - 2007
We show that, contrary to widespread belief, low-pay workers do not generally prefer that the minimum wage rate be increased until the labor demand is unitary elastic. Rather, there exists a critical value of elasticity of labor demand so that increases in the minimum wage rate make low-pay...

The elasticity of labor demand and the optimal minimum wage
Danziger, Leif (contributor) - 2006
"Contrary to widespread belief, we show that low-pay workers might not generally prefer that the minimum wage rate be increased to a level where the labor demand is unitary elastic. Rather, there exists a critical value of elasticity of labor demand such that increases in the minimum wage rate...

The minimum wage from a two-sided perspective
Brown, Alessio J. G.; Merkl, Christian; Snower, Dennis J. - 2014
This paper sheds new light on the effects of the minimum wage on employment from a two-sided theoretical perspective, in which firms' job offer and workers' job acceptance decisions are disentangled. Minimum wages reduce job offer incentives and increase job acceptance incentives. We show that...

Marginal employment, so-called Minijobs, represent a significant part of the dependent employment in Germany. In 20121 and 2016 the RWI conducted a survey and interviewed marginally employed workers and employers with marginally employed workers in North Rhine-Westphalia. The results of the...

Minimum wage, trade and unemployment in general equilibrium
Marjit, Sugata; Ganguly, Shrimoyee; Acharyya, Rajat - 2020
The path breaking work of Card and Krueger (1993), showing higher minimum wage can increase employment turned the age-old conventional wisdom on its head. This paper demonstrates that this apparently paradoxical result is perfectly plausible in a competitive general equilibrium production...
