The effects of monthly minimum wages on the labor market
We explore the labor market impact of monthly minimum wages utilizing a model suitable for countries adopting monthly, weekly, or daily wage benchmarks. Our findings indicate that, in the absence of overtime regulations, an increase in monthly minimum wages will increase working hours and hourly wages and increase (or decrease) employment when the firm has high (or low) monopsony power. When incorporating overtime alongside its associated compensation, the implications of monthly minimum wages become contingent on the prevailing overtime premiums. We validate these assertions using microdata from China.
期刊介绍:
The China Economic Review publishes original works of scholarship which add to the knowledge of the economy of China and to economies as a discipline. We seek, in particular, papers dealing with policy, performance and institutional change. Empirical papers normally use a formal model, a data set, and standard statistical techniques. Submissions are subjected to double-blind peer review.
