Supplemental Appendix for Effects of the Minimum Wage on Employment Dynamics

چکیده
In Dube [2013], Arindrajit Dube criticizes an earlier draft of our paper.1 Some of his concerns – such as our choice of data sets, the time periods we examine, and the inclusion of unemployment rates as a control – we address in the latest version. In this appendix, we briefly respond to two primary criticisms which do not merit in-depth discussion in the main text: first, that our results are spurious due to insufficient controls for differences between states with high and low minimum wages; and second, that the effects of the minimum wage are seen in the “wrong” industries (namely, those with a relatively low prevalence of minimum wage earners).

متن کاملThe Effect of the Minimum Wage on Prices
The Effect of the Minimum Wage on Prices It is well established in the international literature that minimum wage increases compress the wages distribution.
