Searching for the Virtues of the European Model

Gilles Saint-Paul

No 950, CEPR Discussion Papers from Centre for Economic Policy Research

Abstract: The distributional effects of the minimum wage are analysed in a model where skilled and unskilled labour enter the production function. It is argued that distributional goals are best achieved by letting the labour market clear and achieving redistribution through taxes and transfers.
