Abstract
â¢Support for the minimum wage grows steadily as economists are located further away from Chicago.â¢Women are more likely than men to support the minimum wage.â¢Economists specialising in labour economics are more likely to support the minimum wage.â¢Support for minimum wage among labour economists is stronger among younger academics.
This paper analyses economists' support for the Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2013. I find systematic differences between those supporting the legislation and those opposing it, with support higher among females, young labour economists and those located further from Chicago.
