+abstract: 'Minimum-wage policy aims to raise the real income of low-wage workers.
+
+  Low-wage individuals may be adversely affected by minimum wages,
+
+  however, although the empirical evidence on this point is not without
+
+  controversy. We analyzed the effects of the January 2012 increase in
+
+  monthly minimum wages on the wages and hours worked of low-wage workers
+
+  in Ecuador. Individuals could have chosen to enter occupations covered
+
+  by minimum-wage legislation or those that were not. We applied a
+
+  difference-in-differences estimation to account for potential
+
+  self-selection bias. We also relied on exogenous variations in minimum
+
+  wages by sector, industry, and occupation. We constructed individual
+
+  panel data from a household panel and performed estimates that also
+
+  accounted for potential sample-selection bias. The results suggest a
+
+  significant and positive effect on the wages of treated workers,
+
+  increasing them by 0.41-0.48\% for each 1\% increase in minimum wages,
+
+  relative to the earnings of control workers. Our results also suggest
+
+  that effects varied by type of worker: (i) women workers received lower
+
+  wage increases, and their hours worked were significantly and negatively
+
+  affected, both of which may suggest a failure of the minimum wage to
+
+  reduce the gender wage gap at the bottom of the distribution, and (ii)
+
+  the hours worked by young workers were significantly and positively
+
+  affected, a result that is in agreement with results found elsewhere in
+
+  the literature. These results persisted after applying robustness checks
+
+  to account for different control groups, full- vs. part-time jobs,
+
+  separate regressions for heterogeneous groups, and tests for potential
+
+  attrition and sample-selection bias. The range of effects observed
+
+  across disparate groups of workers suggests areas in which policy change
+
+  could be useful. The income-compression effect we found suggests that
+
+  further studies should address the effects of minimum wage on the drop
+
+  in income inequality observed in the data. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All
