The Consequences of Doubling the Minimum Wage: The Case of Indonesia
研究了1990年代印度尼西亚最低工资实际翻倍对工资和就业的影响，发现平均工资上升5-15%，城市工资就业下降0-5%，但不同规模企业影响差异显著。
Indonesian minimum wages were tripled in nominal terms, and doubled in real terms, in the first half of the 1990s. The author analyzes data from the 1993 labor force survey to evaluate the effects of this hike on wage earnings and wage employment. The results suggest that the minimum wage hike had a modest impact on Indonesian labor market outcomes, increasing average wages by 5–15% and decreasing urban wage employment by 0–5%. The employment effects, however, varied substantially by firm size: small firms apparently experienced substantial decreases in employment, whereas some large firms actually saw their employment increase. Workers in those large firms, the author concludes, are the evident winners from the minimum wage hike.
