Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper assesses the effect of increases in the Estonian minimum wage in 2013–2016 on the probability of workers at different wage levels retaining employment. The effect is identified by comparing the probability of workers remaining employed after increases in the minimum wage in 2013–2016 with the probability of workers at comparable wage levels remaining employed in the 2009–2011 when the minimum wage was left unchanged. Estimations on data from the Estonian Labour Force Survey show that the increases in the minimum wage in 2013–2016 had no or small and imprecisely estimated effects on employment retention for the directly affected workers and similarly for those indirectly affected. These results are robust to the choice of control variables, to refinements of the treatment group and to changes in the time sample.
最低工资和就业保留:爱沙尼亚的微观计量经济学研究
本文评估了2013-2016年爱沙尼亚最低工资上调对不同工资水平工人保留就业概率的影响。通过比较2013-2016年最低工资上调后工人的就业概率与2009-2011年最低工资不变时同等工资水平工人的就业概率,可以确定这种影响。对爱沙尼亚劳动力调查数据的估计表明,2013-2016年最低工资的增加对直接受影响的工人和间接受影响的工人的就业保留没有或很小的影响,而且估计不准确。这些结果对控制变量的选择、治疗组的改进和时间样本的变化都是稳健的。
