Minimum Wage Effects on Employment and School Enrollment
指出最低工资研究常忽略其与教育的关系，通过1977-1989年美国州级数据估计发现，最低工资降低了青少年入学率，增加了既未就业也未上学的人数。
We argue in this paper that the focus on employment effects in recent studies of minimum wages ignores an important interaction between schooling, employment, and the minimum wage.To study these linkages, we estimate a conditional logit model of employment and enrollment outcomes for teenagers using state-year observations for the period 1977 to 1989.The results show a negative influence of minimum wages on school enrollment and a positive effect on the proportion of teens neither employed nor in school.We further suggest that our results are consistent with substitution by employers of higher-for lower-skilled teenagers, with the displaced teens ending up both out of work and out of school.
