Causal inference between minimum wage and employment using the difference in differences method
Replication of the study by Card and Krueger on the effect on employment of a minimum wage rise. The study compares employment in the fast food sector in New Jersey and in Pennsylvania, in February 1992 and in November 1992, after New Jersey's minimum wage rose from $4.25 to $5.05 in April 1992.
A Dockerfile has been added to the repository to ensure reproducibility. See https://github.com/vettorefburana/Run-Rstudio-Server-from-Docker for instructions on how to run the Docker container.
