• Monopsony in Labor Markets: A Review (2020, background): “…the early 1990s (Card and Krueger 1995) was largely empirical, but monopsony provided a useful argument for the finding that increases in minimum wages do not inevitably cost jobs (see Belman and Wolfson 2014 for a meta-study or see Cengiz, Dube, Lindner, and Zipperer 2019 for a recent US study).”
• Minimum Wages and the Distribution of Family Incomes (2018, unknown): “However, while there is a large and active literature on the employment e ects of minimum wages—see Belman and Wolfson (2014) for a recent review—there are relatively fewer studies that empirically estimate the impact of the policy on family incomes.”
• Regulating TNCs: Should Uber and Lyft set their own rules? (2019, result): “A recent meta-study [37] found that it is equally likely to find positive or negative employment effect of the minimum wage in the literature; a similar observation is made in [38].”
