David Card and Alan Krueger on the 20th anniversary of ‘Myth and Measurement’ (Invite Only)

On Wednesday, March 16 at 9:30 a.m. Eastern, the Washington Center for Equitable Growth and the Economic Policy Institute will host economists David Card and Alan Krueger for a 20^th anniversary discussion of their seminal work, “Myth and Measurement.”

In “Myth and Measurement,” Card and Krueger used novel empirical methods to show how minimum wage increases improve living standards without necessarily leading to job losses. Card and Krueger will discuss how their work has influenced contemporary debates over raising the minimum wage and informed the development of empirical research in economics. EPI President Lawrence Mishel and Equitable Growth Executive Director Heather Boushey will provide comments.
