Do Firms Have an Incentive to Comply with the US Federal Minimum Wage? A thread 🧵, w/ results from my updated WP (with newly-FOIA-ed data on liquidated damages and hot good violations, for all the enforcement nerds out there). docs.iza.org/dp16882.pdf
Using data on all violations of the minimum wage from the Fair Labor Standards Act in the US documented since 2005, this column finds that average penalty levels are far too low to give most firms an incentive to comply. @annastansbury @MITSloan @MIT_IWER ow.ly/E23I50RgexH

And see Anna’s @voxeu column explaining her research! (🔗cepr.org/voxeu/columns/…)
A lot of people I've spoken to are surprised at the fact that minimum wage underpayment is often *not* known about by workers - surely they can just see it on the paycheck? I recommend reading / watching these for more understanding of how a lot of min wage violations happen
.@annastansbury: "In the US & UK, the legal system does not create sufficient incentive to comply with the minimum wage... If governments wish to increase incentives to comply, they can act on two margins: increasing average penalties or increasing the probability of detection"
