I study two minimum wage hikes in Portugal: 2014 and 2016.
Exploiting the quasi-experimental nature of the policy and leveraging rich administrative linked employer-employee data, I confirm the main predictions of the model.

Theoretically, I introduce a minimum wage into a stylized model of compensation policies rooted in the personnel economics literature, and derive predictions to guide the empirical analysis.

Honoured that my paper "Internal Organization of Firms and Minimum Wage Spillovers" received the Best Paper Award at the latest @eayeconomists.bsky.social Annual Meeting!
