Card & Kruger一项发表在AER的论文认为，提高最低工资可能提升就业。维基百科地址 http://en.wikiped ...

Economists studied the effects of minimum wages long before Card and Krueger came along, and found that higher minimum wages reduce demand for low productivity labor. See for example:

• "Minimum Wages and Teenagers' Enrollment-Employment Outcomes: A Multinomial Logit Model." Ronald G. Ehrenberg; Alan J. Marcus The Journal of Human Resources V17 N1 (Winter, 1982), pp. 39–58
• "Teenage Employment Effects of State Minimum Wages." Arnold Katz The Journal of Human Resources V8 N2 (Spring, 1973), pp. 250–256
• Brozen, Yale. 1969. "The Effect of Statutory Minimum Wage Increases on Teen-age Employment." Journal of Law and Economics, vol. 12 (April): 109–122
• "Recent Department of Labor Studies of Minimum Wage Effects." George Macesich; Charles T. Stewart, Jr. Southern Economic Journal V26, N4 (Apr., 1960), pp. 281–290
• "The Marginal Productivity Theory of Wages and Disguised Unemployment." Dipak Mazumdar The Review of Economic Studies V26 N3 (Jun., 1959), pp. 190–197
• "The Economics of Minimum Wage Legislation." George J. Stigler The American Economic Review V36 N3 (Jun., 1946), pp. 358–365

原文说得很清楚了：

Card and Krueger show a positive correlation between an increased minimum wage and employment in New Jersey. Many others have thoroughly debunked this study and it is significant that the original authors eventually retracted their claims. 详见：

David Neumark and William Wascher, “Minimum Wages and Employment: A Case Study of the Fast-Food Industry in New Jersey and Pennsylvania: Comment,” American Economic Review 90, no. 5 (2000): 1390. Researchers from the Employment Policies Institute also reported finding data errors in the Card and Krueger sample. In one Wendy’s in New Jersey, for example, there were no full-time workers and 30 part-time workers in February 1992. By November 1992, the restaurant had added 35 full-time workers with no change in part-timers. See David R. Henderson, “The Squabble over the Minimum Wage,” Fortune, July 8, 1996, pp. 28ff. Walter Block, “The Minimum Wage Once Again,” Labor Economics from a Free Market Perspective (2008): 147-154. David Card and Alan B. Krueger, “Minimum Wages and Employment: A Case Study of the Fast-Food Industry in New Jersey and Pennsylvania: Reply,” American Economic Review 90, no. 5 (2000): 1419.

吾评曰：实际上，支持最低的工资制度的根本就不是合格的经济学家。如果最低工资制度能够达到其所要达到的目 ...

呵呵，过了若干年，经济学水平还是停留在以前的水平啊。不是一回事又如何呢？你想以此证明最低工资制度就是有效的？

楼主说的不错。市场和行为人最终还是依靠竞争来实现最优

政策的制定要在不同目标之间做出取舍，政策的宏观经济影响不能只看单一指标。

有点道理~~

增加通胀  、、、反正也降不下去了

你看看，还是过去的思路：不支持你就是反对你，不是答案的一部分，就是问题的一部分。

这个问题并不是这样的，尤其不是非黑即白的。

最低工资有效？那么这个“有效”指什么？起到作用？怎样的作用？劫富济贫吗？能不能劫富济贫？哪部分人算富？再分配本质上具有效率么？再分配具有道德层面上的“效用”么？。。。。

这些不搞清楚，没法说好坏。

就目前一定要讨论，我觉得是“没起到作用”，就是说，该挣到钱的还是挣到了，没有统计意义上显著地被解雇（不是说绝对的），另一方面，也没有几个人多挣到钱。就是演戏给选民看的一场游戏。
