This dissertation consists of three studies on the employment effect from increasing the minimum wage. The first essay analyzes the change in employment of 16-19 year olds over time. The other two essays use a difference-in-differences approach and examine the employment effect on 16-19 year olds overall and relative to other age groups. The second essay uses average 12-month percentage changes in employment, while the third essay uses the frequency of employment increases from the previous year. In the second chapter, we link employment to the state of the economy and the monopsonistic behavior of firms. The model assumes each firm; is a wage-taker in the spot labor market, faces an upward-sloped anticipated share of the market supply of labor, and has the power to choose a wage contract fully contingent, or not, on the realized price of output. The predictions of the model are supported by an analysis of aggregate time series white and black teenage employment data. The third chapter studies the effect of an increase in the federal minimum wage on black and white 16-19 year olds relative to 35-44 and 45-54 year olds using a difference-in-differences approach. There is no evidence of a significant decrease in teenage employment from raising the minimum wage in expansions for either racial group. The only significantly negative relationship between teenage employment and the minimum wage occurs during contractions, a period found to decrease teenage employment disproportionately. The fourth chapter studies the employment effect from the federal minimum wage by examining the frequency of increases and decreases in employment of teenagers overall and relative to a control group, and both conditional upon the state of the business cycle or not. When the state of the economy is not accounted for, we find significant evidence of a negative impact of the minimum wage. This effect totally disappears when account is taken of the state of the economy, except for white teenagers in a contraction. Virtually all of the negative effects of the minimum wage appear to be due to increasing the minimum wage during contractions.
