Abstract: The effects of the statutory minimum wage on disposable incomes in Germany have been little studied to date. Descriptive analyses carried out with the PASS survey dataset show significant income increases, in particular for employees in eastern Germany. These results are confirmed with unconditional quantile regressions. Increases in the net household incomes of dependent employees range up to the 25-percentage point of the disposable income distribution for the year 2018. Furthermore, our descriptive analyses show that the transition from employment with means-tested transfer benefit payments to employment without transfer benefit payments was increased particularly between the years 2014–15 and 2015–16, which coincides with the introduction of the minimum wage. Using panel model estimates, we can confirm a reduction in the share of workers with means-tested transfer payments following the introduction of the minimum wage.
