Heterogeneous Impact of the Minimum Wage
研究了美国最低工资变化对不同教育、经验和性别工人之间及组内工资差异的影响，发现最低工资变动部分解释了教育、经验和性别工资差异的变化模式，尤其对低经验女性组内差异影响显著。
Workers who earn at or below the minimum wage in the United States are mostly\neither less educated, young, or female. Little is known, however, concerning\nthe extent to which the minimum wage influences wage differentials among\nworkers with different observed characteristics and among workers with the same\nobserved characteristics. This paper shows that changes in the real value of\nthe minimum wage over recent decades have affected the relationship of hourly\nwages with education, experience, and gender. The results suggest that changes\nin the real value of the minimum wage account in part for the patterns of\nchanges in education, experience, and gender wage differentials and mostly for\nthe patterns of changes in within-group wage differentials among female workers\nwith lower levels of experience.\n
