Training and the New Minimum Wage
利用英国家庭面板调查数据，评估1999年英国全国最低工资制度对低工资工人工作相关培训的影响，发现最低工资并未减少培训，反而可能有所增加。
Using the British Household Panel Survey, we estimate the impact of the national minimum wage, introduced in April 1999, on the work‐related training of low‐wage workers. We use two 'treatment groups'– those workers who explicitly stated they were affected by the new minimum and those workers whose derived 1998 wages were below the minimum. Using difference‐in‐differences techniques for the period 1998 to 2000, we find no evidence that the introduction of the minimum wage reduced the training of affected workers and some evidence that it increased it.
