最低工资政策对经营单位工资与职业结构的影响

中文摘要

我利用职业就业与工资统计项目的经营单位层面面板数据，估计了10个州在2014年和2015年实施的最低工资上调的影响。研究表明，最低工资上调会在经营单位内部引发工资溢出效应。我几乎没有发现证据表明，最低工资上调会促使经营单位调整其职业构成。最后，我发现最低工资上调的影响会沿管理层级向上传导，导致主管人员的工资增加。尽管如此，我发现最低工资上调后，经营单位内部的总体工资不平等程度有所下降。

Abstract

Using establishment-level panel data from the Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics program, I estimate the effect of minimum wage increases implemented by 10 states in 2014 and 2015. I show that minimum wage increases lead to wage spillovers within establishments. I find little evidence that minimum wage increases induce establishments to reorganize their occupational mix. Finally, I find that minimum wage increases propagate up the management hierarchy, leading to increased wages for supervisors. Nonetheless, I find that overall wage inequality decreases within establishments after minimum wage increases.
