Abstract

We introduce a minimum wage in Lise, Robin. We could also introduce a labor tax on output p and use is to finance unemployment. Budget balanced in the long run. Questions are: 1) Optimal minimum wage – starting from our estimates in Lise, Robin, which could be interpreted as corresponding to an economy without a legal minimum wage. 2) Optimal conduct of labor policy across the business cycle.
