The Consequences of Increased Enforcement of Legal Minimum Wages in a Developing Country
In August 2010, the Costa Rican government implemented a comprehensive program to increase compliance with legal minimum wages, the Campaña Nacional de Salarios Mínimos (National Campaign for Minimum Wages). To evaluate the impact of the Campaign, the authors use a regression discontinuity (RD) approach, which compares what happened to workers who before the Campaign had been earning below the minimum wage to those who before the Campaign had bee…
Accounting for Changing Earnings Inequality in Costa Rica, 1980–99
After declining from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s, inequality in monthly earnings in Costa Rica stabilised from 1987 to 1992 and then increased from 1992 to 1999.

Although only Costa Rica and Guatemala show an unambiguous deterioration in the 1990s,…
