The Pass-Through of Minimum Wages into U.S. Retail Prices
This paper estimates the pass-through of minimum wage increases into the prices of U.S. grocery and drug stores. We use high-frequency scanner data and leverage a large number of state-level increases in minimum wages between 2001 and 2012. We find that a 10% minimum wage hike translates into a 0.36% increase in the prices of grocery products. This magnitude is consistent with a full pass-through of cost increases into consumer prices. We show th…
The Skill‐Biased Effects of Exchange Rate Fluctuations
This article examines the linkages between real exchange rate movements and firms' skill demand. Augmenting the model of Campa and Goldberg (2001) with heterogeneous labour, we show that exchange rate movements may affect unskilled workers differently than skilled workers because they change the relative price of imported inputs. Using panel data on Swiss manufacturers covering the period 1998–2012, we find that an appreciation increases high‐ski…
Dividing the Pie
The authors are the first to study the factors determining labor's share of income on the level of the individual firm, employing an unusually informative panel data set. The empirical examination is concerned with Switzerland, which stands out as one of the very few developed countries with a stable labor share. Broadly confirming results from previous cross-country and industry-level studies, the authors find that the main factor decreasing the…
