Minimum Wages and Poverty
Textbook analysis tells us that in a competitive labor market, the introduction of a minimum wage above the competitive equilibrium wage will cause unemployment. This paper makes two contributions to the basic theory of the minimum wage. First, we analyze the effects of a higher minimum wage in terms of poverty rather than in terms of unemployment.

متن کاملReviews Minimum Wages and Poverty: An Evaluation of Policy
One of the problems with the economic analysis of social policy is the tendency of researchers to consider policies in isolation from one another. Although Econlit contains over 2000 articles and books on minimum wages, and over 150 on Earned Income Tax Credits (EITCs), only 20 articles or books deal with the two topics together. Although this ‘silo’ approach encourages in-depth analysis of ind...

Our review indicates that there is a wide range of existing estimates and, accordingly, a lack of consensus about the overall effects on low-wage employment of an increase in the minimum wag...
