Minimum Wages and Earnings Inequality in Urban Mexico
研究了1980年代末至2000年代初墨西哥最低工资下降对收入不平等加剧的贡献，发现底层不平等增长几乎完全由最低工资实际值下降导致。
This paper analyzes the contribution of the minimum wage to the well documented rise in earnings inequality in Mexico between the late 1980s and the early 2000s. We find that a substantial part of the growth in inequality, and essentially all of the growth in inequality in the bottom end of the distribution, is due to the steep decline in the real value of the minimum wage.
