Holtemöller, Oliver; Pohle, Felix - 2017
This paper contributes to the empirical literature on the employment effects of minimum wages. We analysed the introduction of a statutory minimum wage in Germany in 2015 exploiting cross-sectional variation of the minimum wage affectedness. We construct two variables that measure the...

The short-run employment effects of the German minimum wage reform
Caliendo, Marco; Fedorets, Alexandra; Preuß, Malte; … - 2017
We assess the short-term employment effects of the introduction of a national statutory minimum wage in Germany in 2015. For this purpose, we exploit variation in the regional treatment intensity, assuming that the stronger a minimum wage "bites" into the regional wage distribution, the stronger...

The causal effects of the minimum wage introduction in Germany : an overview
Caliendo, Marco; Schröder, Carsten; Wittbrodt, Linda - 2018
In 2015, Germany introduced a statutory hourly minimum wage that was not only universally binding but also set at a relatively high level. We discuss the short-run effects of this new minimum wage on a wide set of socio-economic outcomes, such as employment and working hours, earnings and wage...

When the minimum wage bites back : quantile treatment effects of a sectoral minimum wage in Germany
Gregory, Terry - 2014
In this study we investigate the minimum wage (MW) effects for a German sub-construction sector where the MW bites extraordinary hard by international standards. Within a quasiexperiment we estimate the Quantile Treatment Effects of the MW on the conditional and unconditional distribution of...

How robust are simulated employment effects of a legal minimum wage in Germany? : a comparison of different data sources and assumptions
Müller, Kai-Uwe - 2009
Several empirical minimum wage studies have recently been published that simulate employment effects of a federal minimum wage in Germany. We disentangle various factors that explain the variation in previous simulation results. Based on data from the German Socio-Economic Panel and the newly...

Employment effects of a sectoral minimum wage in Germany
Müller, Kai-Uwe - 2010
In this paper employment effects of a sectoral minimum wage in the German construction sector are estimated from a single cross-sectional wage distribution using parametric and semi-parametric models. Parametric functional form assumptions seem too restrictive and lead to implausible results. We...
