Abstract

The impact of minimum wage increases on employment has been extensively examined with mixed results. We extend the literature by hypothesizing and showing a differential impact of state-level minimum wage increases on nonprofit organizations as opposed to for-profit organizations. While we find that increases in minimum wages reduce employment growth in both types of organizations, this decrease is substantially larger for nonprofit organizations. We also find that investment in automation, that is, information technology, rises in nonprofits postminimum wage increase, consistent with the substitution of capital for labor. Minimum wage increases also increase the likelihood of nonprofit exit. JEL: J38, J68, L

国家最低工资增长对非营利组织的影响

对提高最低工资对就业的影响进行了广泛的研究，结果喜忧参半。我们通过假设和显示州级最低工资上调对非营利组织和营利组织的不同影响来扩展文献。虽然我们发现，最低工资的提高降低了这两类组织的就业增长，但非营利组织的降幅要大得多。我们还发现，在最低工资上涨后，非营利组织对自动化（即信息技术）的投资增加，这与资本替代劳动力一致。最低工资的提高也增加了非营利组织退出的可能性。JEL:J38，J68，L
