Economics Letters, 2020, vol. 194, issue C

Abstract: This article examines the impact of the minimum wage on DI claims, based on a state-year panel for 2002–2017 constructed from the Social Security Administration’s State Agencies Monthly Workload (MOWL) Dataset. Across a wide variety of specifications, the minimum wage has had no discernable short-run effect on DI claims.
