Cool Data Alert: Minimum Wages

Do you need to get started on your third year paper? Are you interested in studying the impacts of minimum wage changes? Well, have I got the data set for you! This data set tracks effective minimum wage rates across U.S. states from January 1, 2011 to January 1, 2018. Perhaps even cooler, the data set also contains information on the legislative histories behind each change (for example, when it was passed by the legislature and signed by the governor). For details, see this IZA Discussion Paper. Thank you, Michael R. Strain and coauthors, for putting this together.
