Non-monotonic employment effects by market structure and minimum wage level
Devereux, Kevin; Studnicka, Zuzanna - 2024
Minimum wages decrease employment in competitive markets, but can increase it in monopsonistic markets so long as they do not exceed the marginal product of labour. We find evidence of non-monotonicity both by market structure and minimum wage level. Minimum wage hikes initially increase hours...
