| Tiivistelmä: | Previous U.S. panel estimates of minimum wage effects have been criticized on the grounds that their identification rests on comparisons of ''low-wage'' and "high-wage'' workers. The author compares estimates based on the traditional U.S. methodology with those based on samples of "low-wage" workers exclusively. The results would appear to vindicate the critics: The minimum wage effect from the latter approach is virtually zero. Yet, estimates from different subgroups of low- wage workers indicate that there is a significant disemployment effect for those with longer low-wage employment histories. This highlights the heterogeneity within low-wage workers and the importance of carefully defining the target group not solely based on workers' wages. |
