Effects of the minimum wage on employment : the case of Colombia using a Density Discontinuity Approach
(Universidad Eafit, 2019) Granados Ibarra, Silvia Juliana; Posso Suárez, Christian Manuel
This article implements a novel methodology under a Density Discontinuity Approach, to quantify and analyze the effect of the minimum wage policy on employment and related outcomes using Colombia’s Great Integrated Household Survey for years 2011 to 2018. To do so, I apply Jales (2018) two-sector model that involves parametric and non-parametric estimation of parameters of interest that govern the estimated distribution of wages in the absence of the minimum wage. The main results of this project include a 19% disemployment effect caused by the presence of the minimum wage, a 28% probability of workers movement to informality, and a non-compliance for informal workers of 88%, with respect to the counterfactual scenery of an economy without Government intervention through minimum wages.
