The Minimum Wage Own-Wage Elasticity Repository contains a representative estimate of the own-wage elasticity (OWE) of employment from minimum wage research studies.
This code repository creates the website for the OWE repository, where you can explore a table of all the studies, view the documentation, or download the underlying data.
The website contains the latest version of the data.
The main data products are also available in the root of this repository:
- mw_owe_repository.csv (the OWE repository estimates)
- mw_owe_studies.bib or mw_owe_studies.csv (bibliography of studies)
For archived versions of the data, see the Github releases and associated changelog.
If you simply want to use the data and documentation, visit the website.
To build the data and website, you will need to use the R package targets and quarto.
