Title: MINIMUM WAGE AND FOOD PRICES: AN ANALYSIS OF PRICE PASS-THROUGH EFFECTS
Authors: Lee, Chinkook

Issue Date: 2000
Abstract: An Input-Output model is used to analyze price pass-through effects of a minimum wage increase on prices of the food and kindred product and food-service industry. Although these sectors employ a disproportionate share of minimum wage workers, our results suggest a $0.50 increase in the minimum wage would minimally affect food prices.
