The Impact of Minimum Wages on Unemployment Duration: Estimating the Effects Using the Displaced Worker Survey
研究了最低工资对失业持续时间的影响，发现对老年男性和高学历者缩短失业期，但对男性辍学者和低技能女性延长失业期，引发对分配效应的担忧。
This paper examines the impact of minimum wages on unemployment duration. Our estimates suggest that higher minimum wages are associated with shorter unemployment duration for older males and those with at least a high school diploma, but longer unemployment spells for male high school dropouts and females who are older and in lower-skilled occupations. The results are consistent with other studies in generating concerns about the distributional impact of minimum wages.
