Effects on Wage Rates: An Interim Analysis

Author

  • Richard W. West

Abstract

Examined in this paper are the effects of the financial and manpower treatments of the Seattle and Denver Income Maintenance Experiments on the wage rates of original heads of families (husbands, wives, and single female heads). The results indicate that there is little basis for concluding that either the financial or manpower treatments have had any effect on wage rates. In addition to using a simple dummy variable model, we have examined the effects on manpower program participants and have investigated the possibility of a shift to higher-paying occupations. In the estimates of these models, significant response coefficients appear only about as often as would occur by chance alone.
