TY - JOUR T1 - Heterogeneous Impact of the Minimum Wage: Implications for Changes in Between- and Within-group Inequality JF - Journal of Human Resources JO - J Hum Resour DO - 10.3368/jhr.58.3.0719-10339R1 SP - 0719-10339R1 AU - Tatsushi Oka AU - Ken Yamada Y1 - 2021/01/11 UR - http://jhr.uwpress.org/content/early/2021/08/17/jhr.58.3.0719-10339R1.abstract N2 - Most of the workers who earn at or below the minimum wage are either less educated, young, or female in the United States. We examine the extent to which the minimum wage influences the wage differential among workers with different observed characteristics and the wage differential among workers with the same observed characteristics. Our results suggest that changes in the real value of the minimum wage account in part for the patterns of changes in education, experience, and gender wage differentials and for most of the changes in within-group wage differentials for workers with lower levels of experience.
