Debatt: Lägsta löner och sysselsättning

Vad gäller det?

DN Debatt 9/1: ”Okvalificerade låglönejobb förbättrar inte integrationen”

Replik 11/1: "Fel om strukturomvandling av arbetsmarknaden"

Replik 11/1: "Lågutbildade flyktingar är utmaningen"

Slutreplik 18/1: "Finanspolitiska rådets utspel illa underbyggt"

Nedan följer 30 artiklar och rapporter som belyser sambandet mellan lägsta löner och sysselsättning. Listan utgör absolut inget försök till att vara uttömmande. Jag angav sökorden "Minimum wage" och "Minimum wage and employment" i Google Scholar.

Orange-färgade länkar indikerar studier som inte finner något samband mellan nivån på lägsta löner och sysselsättning. Medan grön-färgade länkar finner negativa effekter på sysselsättning från högre lägsta löner. Femton (två) av tjugotre (sju) peer-review (icke peer-review) granskade studier är orange-markerade.

"I would say the burden of proof has shifted toward people who think the minimum wage has large dis-employment effects. Because it has been hard to find those." Joshua Angrist, arbetsmarknadsekonom från MIT i EconTalk 22/12-2014 (cirka 37 minuter in).
