Employment and distribution effects of the mnimum wage
Slonimczyk, Fabián; Skott, Peter - 2012
This paper analyzes the effects of the minimum wage on wage inequality, relative employment and over-education. We show that over-education can be generated endogenously and that an increase in the minimum wage can raise both total and low-skill employment, and produce a fall in inequality....

The Race Between Education, Technology, and the Minimum Wage
Vogel, Jonathan - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023

We investigate minimum wage spillovers by exploiting the first-time introduction of a minimum wage within a quasi-experiment in a context with an extraordinary large bite: the German roofing industry. We find positive wage spillovers for medium-skilled workers with wages just above the minimum...
