The Employment Effects of Recent Minimum Wage Increases: Evidence from a Pre-specified Research Design

David Neumark

No 7171, NBER Working Papers from National Bureau of Economic Research, Inc

Abstract: This paper presents evidence on the employment effects of recent minimum wage increases from a pre-specified research design that entailed committing to a detailed set of statistical analyses prior to 'going to' the data. Despite the limited data to which the pre-specified research design can be applied, evidence of disemployment effects of minimum wages is often found where we would most expect it--for younger, less-skilled workers.
