Abstract

This paper focuses on modeling the impact of the national minimum wage upon the average gross wage, employment rate and prices in Romania, during the period q1 1999 - q4 2009. The tools and models that were used consist of a system equation model and a VAR model. Based on the results we are confident that both models can be reliable when modeling the minimum wage impact for the case of Romania.
