摘要：

The authors employ spatial econometrics techniques and annual averages data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics for 1990-2004 to examine how changes in the minimum wage affect teen employment. Spatial econometrics techniques account for the fact that employment is correlated across states. The authors find a combined direct and indirect effect of minimum wages on teen employment to be -2.1 per cent for a 10 per cent increase in the real effective minimum wage. Ignoring spatial correlation underestimates the magnitude of the effect of minimum wages on teen employment.
