Abstract
⺠Theory and data indicate that the setting of the minimum wage matters. ⺠A wage floor set by the Government is lower than one set within collective bargaining. ⺠This holds under a broad set of circumstances: institutional variables also matter. ⺠Data on 68 countries point to sizeable premium of bargained over legislated minimum wages. ⺠This premium can be interpreted as a causal effect of the fixing regime on levels.
