IMMIGRATION AND THE MINIMUM WAGE: AN ECONOMIC ANSWER FOR A POLITICAL QUESTION

http://fee.org/from-the-archives/immigration-and-the-minimum-wage-an-economic-answer-for-a-political-question/


THE BROTHER-IN-LAW EFFECT

http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/123445602/abstract

When a firm is forced to pay abnormally high wages, hiring transfers rents. This effectively endows the employer with the ability to grant favors, and he may wish to do so even at some cost to efficient production. We refer to this as the brother-in-law effect. This article analyzes its consequences. When the brother-in-law effect is due to unionization, decisions regarding both the number and type of workers employed could be inefficient; overemployment could obtain even relative to the workforce that would be employed without unionization. We also identify cases in which nepotism improves efficiency.


When Work Disappears

“Wilson’s book in my reading pinpointed not only the economic consequences of being able to climb the economic ladder from the bottom rung up, but the social consequences for individuals, families and neighborhoods.”

http://www.coordinationproblem.org/2010/04/when-work-disappears.html

Katherine Newman, Professor of Sociology at Princeton University, talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about Newman’s case studies of fast-food workers in Harlem. Newman discusses the evolution of their careers and fortunes over time along with their dreams and successes and failures. The conversation concludes with lessons for public policy in aiding low-wage workers.”
