Stewart that was published in January 2002. The paper is in PDF format. Stewart analyzes the employment effect of a minimum wage in the United Kingdom. The minimum wage was introduced in 1999. Stewart includes a model of probability as a function of the individual's position in the wage distribution. Results show that the effect of the minimum wage on the probability of employment is insignificantly different from zero for all four of the demographic groups studied.
