dc.description.abstractThe international literature on minimum wage greatly lacks empirical evidence fromdeveloping countries. Brazil?s minimum wage policy is a distinctive and central feature of theBrazilian economy. Not only are increases in the minimum wage large and frequent but theminimum wage has also been used as an anti-inflation policy in addition to its social role.This study estimates the effects of the minimum wage on both wages and employment usingpanel data techniques and Brazilian monthly household data from 1982 to 2000 at individualand regional levels. A number of conceptual and identification questions is discussed, forexample: (1) Various strategies on how to best measure the effect of a constant (national)minimum wage are summarized in a ?menu? of minimum wage variables and used toestimate wage and employment effects. (2) An employment decomposition that separatelyestimates the effect of the minimum wage on hours worked and on the number of jobs isused. Robust results indicate that an increase in the minimum wage strongly compresses thewages distribution with moderately small adverse effects on employment.en
