Optimal Minimum Wage in Competitive Labor Markets∗
This paper presents a theoretical analysis of optimal minimum wage policy in a perfectly competitive labor market. Introducing a minimum wage is desirable if the government values redistribution toward low wage workers. This result remains true in the presence of optimal nonlinear taxes and transfers. In that context, a minimum wage effectively rations low skilled labor which is subsidized by t...
متن کاملOptimal minimum wage policy in competitive labor markets
This paper provides a theoretical analysis of optimal minimum wage policy in a perfectly competitive labor market. We show that a binding minimum wage – while leading to unemployment – is nevertheless desirable if the government values redistribution toward low wage workers and minimum wage induced unemployment hits the lowest surplus workers first. This result remains true in the presence of o...
متن کاملNetworks in labor markets: Wage and employment dynamics and inequality
We present a model of labor markets that accounts for the social network through which agents hear about jobs. We show that an improvement in the wage or employment status of either an agent’s direct or indirect contacts leads to an increase in the agent’s employment probability and expected wages, in the sense of first order stochastic dominance. A similar effect results from an increase in th...
متن کاملRacial Discrimination in Labor Markets with Posted Wage Offers
We develop a model of race discrimination in labor markets in which offered wage rates are posted along with job openings. If an employer with a job vacancy and a posted wage receives a pool of applicants, she chooses the most qualified and, if the best applicants are equally qualified, she is free to make an arbitrary, or perhaps a discriminatory, choice. We develop a game in which firms post ...
متن کاملWage Differentials in Experimental Efficiency Wage Markets
In recent years, many econometric studies have confirmed the existence of inter-industry wage differentials. Even after controlling for a large number of joband worker related characteristics, and demographic variables, large and statistically significant industry wage differences remain. Moreover, these differences exist for union as well as for non-union workers and seem to be remarkably simi...
