On the robustness of minimum wage effects: geographically-disparate trends and job growth equations

Table 3 Employment Equations for the Restaurant-and-Bar Sector 1990–2014, Various Detrending Methods

Notes: All specifications include the same controls (and approaches to calculating standard errors) as in Tables 1 and 2. The “Peak-to-Peak, 2000-2015” results use the same period to estimate the linear trends at the county level as in the “peak-to-peak trends” results, but only uses data after this period to then estimate the employment equation using detrended data. The sample size is based on a panel of 1,552 counties. Total observations are 155,200 in all equations except the “Peak-to-Peak, 2000–2015” estimation, where the total observations are 85,360
