We examine the impact of increasing minimum wage on employment by exploiting variation in the age-dependent National … Minimum Wage (NMW) in the UK. We extend the Regression Discontinuity model to evaluate the procyclicality of employment effect … and show that previous estimates may be biased due to failure to account for the local non-employment rate.
