Establishment-level reactions to the new statutory minimum wage : Layoffs are rare

Abstract

"We descriptively analyze establishment-level reactions in the course of the recent minimum wage introduction in Germany. Employment is rather adjusted through a reduction of hires than by layoffs. Other frequently reported reactions are a reduction of working time and an increase of product prices." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)
