Abstract

The aim of the paper is to estimate the effects of the rise in the minimum wage on employment. By using aggregate data from the �Encuesta de Población Activa� (EPA), we try to assess the elasticity of employment rate with respect to changes in the Kaitz Index (KI). Besides, we also try to analyze the effect of the changes in KI on the level of employment of Spanish firms, from the �Encuesta de Coyuntura Laboral� (ECL) microdata. The outcomes show a small negative effect of KI over the level of employment of Spanish firms and a null effect over the employment rate, even in the case of teenagers.
