What Does the Minimum Wage Do?

by Dale Belman, Paul Wolfson, Paul J. Wolfson

This book looks at which observable, measurable variables (e.g., wages, employment, school enrollment) the minimum wage influences; how long it takes for the variables to respond to the minimum wage and the size and desirability of the effect; why the minimum wage has the results it does (and not others); and the workers most likely to be affected by changes to the minimum wage. The emphasis is on studies that analyze data from the United States, but also touch on studies of data from other countries.
