文献已经证实，最低工资的增加压缩了工资分配。企业通过减少就业、减少利润或提高价格来应对这些更高的劳动力成本。虽然关于最低工资对就业的影响有数百项研究，但对其利润影响的研究却寥寥无几，对其价格影响的研究也只有几十项。此外，文献中没有对最低工资价格效应的全面调查。鉴于这一被忽视问题的政策相关性，在本文中，我们总结并批判性地比较了最低工资对价格影响的现有证据。版权所有2008作者期刊编辑©2008布莱克威尔出版有限公司。
It is well established in the literature that minimum wage increases compress the wage distribution. Firms respond to these higher labour costs by reducing employment, reducing profits, or raising prices. While there are hundreds of studies on the employment effect of the minimum wage, there are merely a handful of studies on its profit effects, and only a couple of dozen studies on its price effects. Furthermore, a comprehensive survey on minimum wage price effects is not available in the literature. Given the policy relevance of this neglected issue, in this paper we summarize and critically compare the available evidence on the effects of minimum wages on prices.
