Minimum wage induces a decrease of the wage gap between Reds and Greens.
On the contrary, a transport subsidy for workers discriminated against leads to an increase of global welfare and a decrease of the wage gap.
In addition, for the individuals of our sample, the average effect of being under-health in 2012 is a decrease of the annual earnings (wages) by 2067.49 euros for males and 1017.78 euros for females (stratification matching method).
The previous output implies that for the individuals of our sample, the average effect of being under-health in 2012 is a decrease of the annual earnings (wages) by 2067.49 euros for males and 1017.78 euros for females.
Specifically, the model predicts that improvements in the provision of public healthcare (e.g., public hospitals) increase the size of the informal sector and decrease the wages of this sector, while increasing the wages of the formal sector.
The model presented in this paper shows that improvements in the provision of public healthcare will increase the size of the informal sector and decrease the wages of this sector.
Their estimates from individual fixed-effects models show that an additional year of time out of work decreases the wages of women by 1.9%/year and the wages of men by 2.5%/year.
in this case, an increase in the rate of growth of the labor force, with the implied decrease in the rate of grwoth of wages, could case a decrease in innovation, and hence a decrease in knowledge spillovers from innovation.
Instead he argues, "we have to face up to the fact that this is also a wage versus profit problem – with an increase in the share of profits, and a decrease in the share of wages".
Our preferred estimator of a Bartolucci-type wage-setting equation (the fixed effects model shown in column 5 of Table 2) suggests that an increase in the share of non-EU workers in a firm is correlated with a modest but significant decrease of the average wage paid in Belgian firms.
