The Minimum Wage, Self-Employment, and the Online Gig Economy
研究了最低工资上涨对不受最低工资法覆盖的工作的影响，发现早期减少了传统自雇，但2010年代后在线零工经济中运输仓储类非雇主企业数量增加约2.7%。
This paper estimates the effect of minimum wage increases on work that is not covered by minimum wage laws. I find that minimum wage increases in the early 2000s resulted in small reductions in engagement in traditional self-employment. Following the development of the online gig economy in the 2010s, a 10% increase in the minimum wage increased the number of nonemployer establishments classified as transportation and warehousing services by approximately 2.7%. The counties most likely to exhibit a positive relationship between the minimum wage and participation in uncovered work are those with low labor market concentration and active Uber marketplaces.
