The impact of age-specific minimum wages on youth employment and education : a regression discontinuity analysis
Dayıoğlu, Meltem; Kucukbayrak, Muserref; Tumen, Semih - 2021
We exploit an age-specific minimum wage rule-which sets a lower minimum wage for workers of age 15 than the adult minimum wage paid to workers of age 16 and above-and its abolition to estimate the causal effect of a minimum wage increase on youth employment and education in Turkey. Using a...
