Is there still a viable argument for the minimum wage? To the best of my understand, Card and Kreuger has been thoroughly refuted by Neumark and Wascher; in fact, practically every one of the major papers that purports to show a zero or small positive effect of a higher min. wage has been replicated and refued by Neumark and Wascher.
There is the work by Dube, Lester, and Reich. What do you think of that? I have heard it is relatively poor and easily refued.
What do you think of the allegations of publication bias favoring "interesting" and consequently anti-status quo, pro-minimum wage papers?
