Searching for the Virtues of the European Model
Gilles Saint-Paul
No 950, CEPR Discussion Papers from C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers
Abstract:
The distributional effects of the minimum wage are analysed in a model where skilled and unskilled labour enter the production function. It is argued that distributional goals are best achieved by letting the labour market clear and achieving redistribution through taxes and transfers.
