摘要：
The appropriateness of including year effects in employment models has been a contentious issue in the minimum wage literature. Using monthly data from the 1979-2004 Current Population Surveys, I find consistent evidence of adverse labor demand effects for teenagers across specifications preferred by those on each side of this debate. Estimated employment elasticities range from -0.2 to -0.3 and unconditional hours elasticities from -0.4 to -0.5.
