En cuanto a las investigaciones previas, la evidencia más contundente apunta a que cuando el incremento del salario mínimo es "modesto" y se tiene un nivel bajo de antemano los efectos de incrementar el salario mínimo en empleo son nulos. La literatura ha encontrado que parte del efecto del salario mínimo se traslada a precios, pero también a mejoras de eficiencia dentro de cada empresa. Bajo ciertos supuestos, aumentar el salario mínimo 51% tiene un efecto de hasta 3% en precios, mejora ingresos salariales reales para trabajadores de bajos ingresos de 8% y una disminución de pobreza laboral de 4%. El impacto en precios es menor si el incremento del salario mínimo no afecta a trabajadores con menos de un salario mínimo o menos trabajadores en el sector informal.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract In this article I analize previous international empirical evidence on minimum wages as well as I estimate possible impacts on prices from a possible minimum wage increase in Mexico. In terms of previous literature, the most compelling evidence points to a null impact in employment of a minimum wage increase if the increase is "modest" and the original minimum wage is relatively low. That literature has also found that part of the effect of the increase of the minimum wage translates into higher prices as well as efficiency improvements. Under some specific assumptions, increasing the minimum wage by 51% has an impact up to 3% in prices, improvement in real wages of low-skilled workers by 8% and a decrease in labor poverty by 4%. The price impact is lower if the increase in the minimum wage does not affect workers earning less than one minimum wage or workers in the informal sector.]]></p></abstract>
