abstract: 'In 2015, Germany introduced a statutory hourly minimum wage that was not
only universally binding but also set at a relatively high level. We
discuss the short-run effects of this new minimum wage on a wide set of
socioeconomic outcomes, such as employment and working hours, earnings
and wage inequality, dependent and self-employment, as well as
reservation wages and satisfaction. We also discuss difficulties in the
implementation of the minimum wage and the measurement of its effects
related to non-compliance and suitability of data sources. Two years
after the minimum wage introduction, the following conclusions can be
drawn: while hourly wages increased for low-wage earners, some small
negative employment effects are also identifiable. The effects on
aspired goals, such as poverty and inequality reduction, have not
materialised in the short run. Instead, a tendency to reduce working
hours is found, which alleviates the desired positive impact on monthly
income. Additionally, the level of non-compliance was substantial in the
short run, thus drawing attention to problems when implementing such a
wide reaching policy.'
