摘要

摘要:我们评估了土耳其最低工资大幅上涨对工资、非正式性和就业的影响。土耳其是一个大型发展中经济体，是经合组织国家中最低工资与平均工资比率最高的国家之一，女性和男性的劳动力市场结果存在普遍差异。我们着眼于2016年准实验性的最低工资增长，并注意识别来自人口群体的信息。我们发现，最低工资的提高在经济上和统计上对工资有显著的积极影响。尽管这一增长对工资有积极的影响，但我们发现没有负面的就业影响。然而，我们表明，最低工资的增长可能导致高等教育以下工人的非正规就业比例增加，特别是对于为小企业工作的这些工人。

Heterogeneous effects of minimum wage on labor market outcomes: A case study from Turkey

Abstract We assess the effects of a sharp minimum wage increase on wages, informality, and employment in Turkey, a large developing economy with one of the highest minimum wage-to-average wage ratios among OECD countries and widespread discrepancies between labor market outcomes of women and of men. We look at the quasi-experimental 2016 minimum wage increase and pay attention to identifying information coming from demographic groups. We find that the increase in the minimum wage had an economically substantial and statistically significant positive impact on wages. Despite the positive wage effects of the increase, we find no negative employment effects. However, we show that the minimum wage increase may have caused an increase in the share of informal employment among workers with less than tertiary education, especially for such workers working for small firms.
