The minimum wage and DI claims

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

This article examines the impact of the minimum wage on DI claims, based on a state-year panel for 2002–2017 constructed from the Social Security Administration's State Agencies Monthly Workload (MOWL) Dataset. Across a wide variety of specifications, the minimum wage has had no discernable short-run effect on DI claims.
