The award was the cherry on top of a great event - outstanding papers, helpful feedback, inspiring keynotes, and an incredible group of young economists who were not only curious and sharp, but also really fun to hang out with.

I study two minimum wage hikes in Portugal: 2014 and 2016.

Exploiting the quasi-experimental nature of the policy and leveraging rich administrative linked employer-employee data, I confirm the main predictions of the model.

Theoretically, I introduce a minimum wage into a stylized model of compensation policies rooted in the personnel economics literature, and derive predictions to guide the empirical analysis.

And empirically? 👇

In the paper, I show that firms’ internal organization and associated compensation policies shape how minimum wage policies propagate along the wage distribution.

How? 👇
