This week in research #80

Here's what caught my eye in research over the past week:

• Wright, Martin, and Krieg (with ungated version here) find that rising minimum wages are associated with reduced summer employment among college students in Washington State
• Goldin asks why some countries in Europe and Asia with moderate fertility levels in the 1980s have become the 'lowest low' fertility countries today, whereas countries where fertility decreased earlier have not, and finds that in the 'lowest low' fertility countries, rapid economic change led to both generational and gendered conflicts that resulted in a rapid decrease in fertility
