摘要

许多学者研究了最低工资对就业的影响,但对雇员构成的影响知之甚少。我研究了德国引入最低工资是否提高了雇佣标准,用工人固定效应作为工人生产率的代表。对于雇佣的生产率最低的工人来说,最低工资导致生产率分布发生了4个百分点的变化。使用标准的可观察到的工人生产率衡量标准,这一增长并未体现出来。改革前筛选强度越大,影响越大——表明雇主的反应。这种更有选择性的招聘补偿了生产率最低的员工大约三分之二的高工资成本。(j23, j24, j31, j38, m51)

Raising the Bar: Minimum Wages and Employers’ Hiring Standards
Many scholars have studied the employment effects of minimum wages, but little is known about effects on the composition of hires. I investigate whether Germany’s minimum wage introduction raised hiring standards, using worker fixed effects as a proxy for worker productivity. For the least productive workers hired, the minimum wage led to a 4 percentile point shift in the productivity distribution. This increase is missed using standard observable measures of worker productivity. The effects are larger with greater pre-reform screening intensity—indicating an employer response. This more selective hiring compensates about two-thirds of higher wage costs for the least productive hires. (JEL J23, J24, J31, J38, M51)
