Download or read book The Impact of Minimum Wage Increases on Food and Kindred Products Prices written by Chinkook Lee and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-09-28 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Impact of Minimum Wage Increases on Food and Kindred Products Prices: An Analysis of Price Pass-Through We investigated the effects of a minimum wage increase on food and kindred products sector prices for five different scenarios. Our estimated results are directly proportional to the minimum wage increases. We measured, perhaps for the first time, the effect of a full-cost pass-through minimum wage increase on 12-output prices in sectors in the food and kindred products industry and on the output prices of eating and drinking places. The minimum wage increases we analyzed caused only a small increase in the cost of food purchased away from home and less than l-percent increases for most of the 12 food and kindred products sectors. With full-cost pass-through, increases in the mini mum wage raised prices at eating and drinking places by percent, the largest percent age increase of the observed industries. Eating and drinking places have a larger share of minimum-wage workers than other sectors of the food and kindred products industry, and labor costs are relatively large (34 cents of each dollar taken in). Even in the eating and drinking sector, however, a 50 cent minimum wage increase would raise prices by only about 1 percent. While this 1 percent change is slightly larger than the increases we observed in the food and kindred products industries, it is consistent with our overall results.

Download or read book Myth and Measurement written by David Card and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-22 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From David Card, winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, and Alan Krueger, a provocative challenge to conventional wisdom about the minimum wage David Card and Alan B. Krueger have already made national news with their pathbreaking research on the minimum wage. Here they present a powerful new challenge to the conventional view that higher minimum wages reduce jobs for low-wage workers. In a work that has important implications for public policy as well as for the direction of economic research, the authors put standard economic theory to the test, using data from a series of recent episodes, including the 1992 increase in New Jersey's minimum wage, the 1988 rise in California's minimum wage, and the 1990–91 increases in the federal minimum wage. In each case they present a battery of evidence showing that increases in the minimum wage lead to increases in pay, but no loss in jobs. A distinctive feature of Card and Krueger's research is the use of empirical methods borrowed from the natural sciences, including comparisons between the "treatment" and "control" groups formed when the minimum wage rises for some workers but not for others. In addition, the authors critically reexamine the previous literature on the minimum wage and find that it, too, lacks support for the claim that a higher minimum wage cuts jobs. Finally, the effects of the minimum wage on family earnings, poverty outcomes, and the stock market valuation of low-wage employers are documented. Overall, this book calls into question the standard model of the labor market that has dominated economists' thinking on the minimum wage. In addition, it will shift the terms of the debate on the minimum wage in Washington and in state legislatures throughout the country. With a new preface discussing new data, Myth and Measurement continues to shift the terms of the debate on the minimum wage.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Minimum Wage: A Debate; The Constructive and Rebuttal Speeches of the Representatives of the University of Chicago; In the Sixteenth Annual Contests of the Central Debating League Against Michigan and Northwestern, January 17, 1914 The subject of the debate contained in this little booklet is of commanding interest. The problem of low wages and the means of ameliorating the harsh conditions that follow in consequence is as old as recorded history and knows no nationality. From the utterance of the scriptural passage, "The poor we have always with us," down to the present age of industrial unrest, the problem presented by the "submerged tenth" has been ever present, - in countries rich and poor, in nations altrustic and in nations materialistic. How to raise the masses above the margin of subsistence and place them on the high road to a decent human existence, if not to fortune, is a question worthy of all the attention it has received. "The greatest good to the greatest number" is the basic principle of democratic institutions, and to deny a sympathetic hearing to the cause of suffering humanity is to forfeit in these days the respect of all right minded citizens. Among the many measures for raising the standard of living of the masses that have been presented none holds forth such splendid promise, and n, one has been so vigorously attacked as the minimum wage. In the debates printed in this volume both sides of this great question are vigorously expounded. It is believed that the debate constitutes a real contribution to the literature of a vital subject.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Compulsory Minimum Wage Scale: Resolved, That the Policy of Fixing Minimum Wage, Scales by State Board Is Desirable; Constructive and Rebuttal Speeches Such conditions are a disgrace to our nation, nevertheless they exist. As we stand in the midst of these deplorable conditions we cannot believe that the intelligence of this age will much longer turn a deaf ear to their pitiable cries. Such is the light in which the question we are discussing to-night must be considered. Our opponents will probably charge us with trying to trick you into sympathy with our cause, but such is not the case. It is able to stand or fall on its own merits. We picture these deplorable conditions only because they force themselves upon us by their immediate bearing upon the problem of wages, and also to Show that the cause of the sweating evil is the low wage. It is because Of these conditions that we the Affirmative propose Minimum Wage legislation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Politics of the Minimum Wage written by Jerold L. Waltman and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The minimum wage as a value of civic republicanism The minimum wage appears to be a standard economic regulatory measure, yet a politics of symbolism more than anything else defines the political contests that periodically erupt over it. Detractors abhor its corruption of market principles, while supporters see it as a measure of society's symbolic commitment to the poor. Tracing the history of the minimum wage and exposing its inherent contradictions as a political issue, Jerold Waltman proposes an alternative to the economic arguments that now dominate debates over it. Citing overwhelming public support for the minimum wage as evidence of an enduring civic consciousness and humanitarianism, Waltman advocates recasting the discussion in terms of a political economy of citizenship. Such a perspective would focus on the communal value of work, the need for citizens to have a stake in the community, and the effects of economic inequality on the bonds of common citizenship. Positioning the minimum wage as a fulcrum for the most basic conflict underlying America's unique combination of democracy and a market economy, The Politics of the Minimum Wage shows how a defense of the minimum wage built on a communal sense of responsibility rests on a strong tradition of civic republicanism and strengthens the hope for a truly democratic society.
