摘要

基于2016–20年麦当劳基本员工的小时工资率和从几乎所有美国麦当劳同时收集的巨无霸价格，我们发现，在25%的最低工资上涨情况下，餐厅将其工资溢价保持在不断上涨的最低工资之上。更高的最低工资与更快地采用触摸屏订购无关，而且最低工资几乎是全价的。最低工资的上涨导致实际工资的上涨（表示为一小时的基本船员工作可以买到多少巨无霸），比名义工资的相应上涨低五分之一。

Minimum Wages, Wages, and Price Pass-Through: The Case of McDonald’s Restaurants

Based on 2016–20 hourly wage rates of McDonald’s basic crew and Big Mac prices collected simultaneously from almost all US McDonald’s, we find that in 25% of instances of minimum wage increases, restaurants keep constant their wage premium above the increasing minimum wage. Higher minimum wages are not associated with faster adoption of touch-screen ordering, and there is near-full price pass-through of minimum wages. Minimum wage hikes lead to increases in real wages (expressed as how many Big Macs 1 hour of basic crew work can buy) that are one-fifth lower than the corresponding increases in nominal wages.
