The Impact of the Introduction of the U.K. Minimum Wage on the Employment Probabilities of Low-Wage Workers
利用三套英国纵向数据，采用双重差分法估计1999年最低工资引入对低工资工人后续就业概率的影响，未发现显著的负面就业效应。
This paper uses longitudinal data from three contrasting data sets (matched Labor Force Surveys, the British Household Panel Survey, and matched New Earnings Surveys) to estimate the impact of the introduction of the U.K. minimum wage (in April 1999) on the probability of subsequent employment among those whose wages would have needed to be raised to comply with the minimum. A difference-in-differences estimator is used, based on position in the wage distribution. No significant adverse employment effects are found for any of the four demographic groups considered (adult and youth, men and women) or in any of the three data sets used.
