Wage Inequality, Minimum Wage Effects and Spillovers
This paper investigates possible spillover effects of the UK minimum wage. The halt in the growth in inequality in the lower half of the wage distribution (as measured by the 50:10 percentile ratio) since the mid 1990s, in contrast to the continued inequality growth in the upper half of the distribution, suggests the possibility of a minimum wage effect and spillover effects on wages above the ...
متن کاملThe Contribution of the Minimum Wage to U.S. Wage Inequality over Three Decades: A Reassessment
We reassess the effect of minimum wages on US earnings inequality using additional decades of data and an IV strategy that addresses potential biases in prior work. We find that the minimum wage reduces inequality in the lower tail of the wage distribution, though by substantially less than previous estimates, suggesting that rising lower tail inequality after 1980 primarily reflects underlying...
متن کاملStagnation and minimum wage: Optimal minimum wage policy in macroeconomics
This paper argues how an increase in minimum wage affects employment, consumption, and social welfare with dynamic general equilibrium model without market frictions. The study demonstrates that a minimum wage hike reduces an actual unemployment rate and has positive effects on an employment rate under the demand-shortage economy whereas they do not under a non-demand shortage economy. The stud...

Theoretical research in international trade increasingly focuses on rm heterogeneity in di¤erentiated product markets following Melitz (2003). A key implication of this line of research is that rms are unevenly affected by trade liberalization: low productivity rms exit, intermediate-productivity domestic rms contract, and high-productivity exporting rms expand. More recent theoretical res...

This paper attempts to understand the forces that have lead to persistent racial wage inequality by developing a dynamic model of statistical discrimination that accounts for the transmission of earnings across generations. The parameters of this model are then estimated using data from the 1970 and 1990 U.S. Census. The results indicate that racial disparities in the quality of information tha...
