10 Example 2 The Effects of Decentralized Minimum Wage Setting on Actual Wages in Thailand: Unconditional Quantile Regression Approach [Work in progress] Kampon Adireksombat Economic Intelligence Unit Siam Commercial Bank John Giles Development Research Group World Bank 18 In Brief Research Question: What is the effect of the minimum wage on actual wages? Are there any differential effects on the actual wages of workers in formal and informal sectors? Sample Group: Female and male workers aged years old Sample Period: Data: Thai Labor Force Survey Empirical Method: Kernel Function and Unconditional Quantile Regression 19
11 Motivation: Dual Sector Model In the classical dual sector model: an increase in the minimum wage in the formal sector results in a decrease in wages in informal sector Negative relationship between a minimum wage and the actual wages in informal sectors. The Todaro ( AER 1969) model predicts that increases in minimum wages in the urban area can indirectly raise rural wages. Positive relationship between a minimum wage and the actual wages in informal sectors. More recently, McIntyre(2004) s model predicts that an increase in minimum wages can increase wages in both sectors. Ambiguous theoretical prediction 20 Minimum Wage in Thailand 1973-first applied 1998-decentralized to provincial levels following a recommendation by the International Labour Organization (ILO) As a result, there is substantial cross-provincial and cross-time variation in minimum wages 21
12 Definition A minimum wage rate was defined as a wage rate which an employee deserves and is sufficient for an employee s living (Office of National Wage Committee 1996). Unlike other minimum wages in other developing countries, where minimum wages are defined as the payment sufficient for the worker and his family members to dwell in the society (for example, Brazil (Starr 1982)), a Thai minimum wage rate is defined for an employee only. makes the minimum wage and individually actual wage more comparable due to consistent definitions. 22 Minimum Wage (THB) by Region Bangkok Central North Thai Bahts Northeast South 2008 Graphs by Region Year 23
13 Infaltion Rate by Region Overall Bangkok Central Inflation Rate North Northeast South Graphs by Region Year 24 Real Minimum Wage (in 2007 THB) by Region Bangkok Central North Thai Bahts Northeast South Graphs by Region Year 25
14 Decentralized Minimum Wage Setting Under the 1998 Labour Protection Act, minimum wage policy is decentralized into 2 levels the basic level, set by the National Minimum Wage Committee the provincial level, set by the Provincial Minimum Wage Sub committees, The provincial minimum wage must not be below the basic level. In case that no minimum wage is set in a province, the basic level is mandatory enforced. Increased variation in the nominal minimum wage rates from 3 levels in 2001 to 21 levels in Three institutions of the Thai minimum wagefixing machinery National Wage Committee (NWC) : a tripartite committee Provincial Subcommittee on Minimum Wage (PSMW) : a tripartite committee Subcommittee on Technical Affairs and Review (STAR): NWC appoints 11 members to form the STAR 27
15 The Minimum wage setting procedure Each PSMW makes a recommendation on its provincial minimum wage to NWC NWC sends a recommendation to STAR for a technical review STAR submits a review back to NWC for a final consideration and approval 28 Labor Force Survey Data LFS includes detailed information on demographic variables (age, gender, region, marital status, education) and employment and unemployment characteristics (work status, hours worked, salary per month, occupation, industry) , carried out three rounds annually (on February, May and August) , the fourth round (on November) was added From 2001, conducted monthly 29
16 Sample Male and female workers at working age (15-60 years old) With no earning information in LBF, the self-employed workers were excluded from the sample. The resulting sample is 103,418 observations. 9-year data from 1999 (when the LPA fully went into effect) to 2007 To capture the full effects of minimum wage changes given the time that is needed to adjust production process to economize on lowskilled labor. To keep the sample consistent and avoid the issue of repetitive sample, we use the first round data for and February data for Previous Studies A large body of literature on the effect of minimum wage on actual wages in emerging and developing countries focus on Latin America and Caribbean countries For example, Bell 1997; Fajnzylber 2001; Lemos 2002; Strobl and Walsh 2003; Maloney and Núñez 2004; Gindling and Terrell They find consistent results that increases in minimum wages have a positive effects on the wages of formal sector workers A pioneer study on the effect of minimum wage on actual wages in Asia is Rama (2001). Using 1993 aggregate data at the provincial level from Indonesia, Rama finds that doubling the real minimum wage results in an increase in average wages by 5 to 15 percent 31
17 Contribution Decreasing real minimum wage Stable inflation rate Definition of minimum and actual wages are more comparable Exogenous cross-provincial and cross-time variation in minimum wages Unconditional Quantile Regression (Firpo, Fortin, and Lemieux (Econometrica 2009)) 32 How To Define Formal and Informal Sectors? I follow Ginding and Terrell (2005) by using firm size and location. Under the 1998 Labor Protection Act (LPA), a firm with 10 employees or more must file a work regulation, including working conditions with the Ministry of Labor and is required to make a contribution to the Compensation Fund. Therefore, I define workers who work for a firm with 10 or more workers as those in the formal sector and workers who work in a smaller firm as those in the informal sector. To define formality by urban/rural dichotomy, I categorize a firm located in municipal area as an urban firm and a firm located in non-municipal area as a rural firm. This urban/rural definition is consistent with Thai local administration. 33
18 How To Define Formal and Informal Sectors? As a result there are four sectors in my study Urban Large (Formal) Urban Small (Informal) Rural Large (Informal) Rural Small (Informal) 34 Empirical Method Kernel density function of log real wage and analyze whether there are spikes in a distribution of actual wage around the minimum wage rates. Unconditional Quantile Regression (Firpo, Fortin, and Lemieux (Econometrica 2009)) To test whether there are differential effects of minimum wages across sectors, I estimate these equations separately for each sector. 35

22 Estimation Method In Thailand, the effect of minimum wage on actual wages is likely to be different at different points of the wage distribution We need estimation methods that go beyond the mean Conditional quantile regression Limitation: do not average up to their unconditional population counterparts. As a result, cannot be used to estimate the impact of an explanatory variable on the corresponding unconditional quantile. In other words, cannot be used to answer a question as simple as what is the effect on the actual wages of increasing minimum wage by one dollar, holding everything else constant? 42 Unconditional Quantile Regression Proposed by Firpo, Fortin, and Lemieux (Econometrica 2009) to estimate the impact of changes in the explanatory variables on the unconditional quantiles of the outcome variable. First, running a regression of the Recentered Influence Function (RIF) of the unconditional quantile dependent variable on the explanatory variables. Second, running OLS regression of the dependent variable on covariates [Stata command: Rifreg] As a result, we yield RIF-OLS estimate, allowing us to estimate the marginal effects of changes in the distribution of an independent variable on a given quantile of the unconditional distribution of Y, all else equal. 43

A decline in real minimum wage are associated with a decline in the actual wages, especially for workers the lower quantile of wage distribution Are there any differential effects on the actual wages of workers in formal and informal sectors? Yes, the effects are more economically and statistically significant in informal sectors, especially workers in small firms 47
