Advocates of minimum wage increases have long touted their potential to reduce poverty. This study assesses this claim. Using data spanning nearly four decades from the March Current Population Survey, and a dynamic difference-in-differences approach, we find that a 10 percent increase in the...

The Effect of Minimum Wages on Wages and Employment : County-Level Estimates for the United States
Addison, John T.; Blackburn, McKinley L.; Cotti, Chad - 2021
We use county-level data on employment and earnings in the restaurant-and-bar sector to evaluate the impact of minimum wage changes on low-wage labor markets. Our empirical approach is similar to the literature that has used state-level panel data to estimate minimum-wage impacts, with the...

Derenoncourt, Ellora; Noelke, Clemens; Weil, David - 2021
Low unionization rates, a falling real federal minimum wage, and prevalent non-competes characterize low-wage jobs in the United States and contribute to growing inequality. In recent years, a number of private employers have opted to institute or raise company-wide minimum wages for their...

Estimating the employment effect of the minimum wage through variation in compliance : evidence from five US states
Gmeiner, Michael; Gmeiner, Robert - In: Journal of government and economics : JGE 12 (2023), pp. 1-9
The implications of a binding minimum wage law on employment have been the subject of a lively and ongoing debate. Estimation of employment effects may be hindered by the non-random manner in which minimum wage laws are created. To overcome this, we explore the employment implications of the...
