The Effect of Minimum Wages on Youth Employment in Canada: A Panel Study.

Yuen, Terence

Journal of Human Resources, v38 n3 p647-72 Sum 2003

Canadian panel data 1988-90 were used to compare estimates of minimum-wage effects based on a low-wage/high-worker sample and a low-wage-only sample. Minimum-wage effect for the latter is nearly zero. Different results for low-wage subgroups suggest a significant effect for those with longer low-wage histories. (Contains 26 references.) (SK)
