Household Labor Supply, Unemployment and Minimum Wage Legislation
The supply behavior of labor frequently depends on the demand conditions that prevail on the labor market. If demand is inadequate, households may send additional household members, who otherwise would not have worked, to look for work, for fear that the main income earner may lose his job. This paper is a study of the theoretical consequences of this ’’added worker’’ affect. It is shown that t...
متن کاملOptimal Minimum Wage in Competitive Labor Markets∗
This paper presents a theoretical analysis of optimal minimum wage policy in a perfectly competitive labor market. Introducing a minimum wage is desirable if the government values redistribution toward low wage workers. This result remains true in the presence of optimal nonlinear taxes and transfers. In that context, a minimum wage effectively rations low skilled labor which is subsidized by t...
متن کاملSticky Wage Models and Labor Supply Constraints∗
In New Keynesian models with sticky wages, the quantity of labor is solely determined by the demand side. Unions with monopsony power set the wage above what it takes to make agents work. If wages are sticky, however, a change of circumstances may make the demand for labor higher than agents’ willingness to work. Because of the simplicity of log-linearization, the literature implicitly assumes ...
متن کاملRecent Immigrants as Labor Market Arbitrageurs: Evidence from the Minimum Wage.
This paper investigates the local labor supply effects of changes to the minimum wage by examining the response of low-skilled immigrants' location decisions. Canonical models emphasize the importance of labor mobility when evaluating the employment effects of the minimum wage; yet few studies address this outcome directly. Low-skilled immigrant populations shift toward labor markets with stagn...
متن کاملLabor Supply with a Minimum Hours Threshold
This paper considers the importance of minimum hours thresholds for the interpretation of individual labor supply data. An analysis of quarterly labor-supply outcomes for prime-age males in the Survey of Income and Program Participation suggests that such thresholds are an important aspect of weekly hours choices. A simple contracting model is presented that incorporates mobility costs and a no...
