Low Paid Employment in Britain: Estimating State‐Dependence and Stepping Stone Effects
利用18波英国家庭面板数据，研究低薪的状态依赖和跳板效应，发现两者均存在，但无证据支持低薪-无薪循环，且国家最低工资的引入未影响这些效应。
Abstract Using 18 waves of the British Household Panel Study, this paper examines state‐dependence and stepping stone effects of low pay. The results show that both state‐dependence and stepping stone effects of low pay are present. However, there is no evidence to support a low‐pay no‐pay cycle. The introduction of the national minimum wage does not appear to have affected state‐dependence and stepping stone effects of low pay.
