【開講】我畫的餅, 既大又好吃 (你就是吃不到!) (上篇)

朱︰戰略三策 基本工資調到3萬
沈富雄:立倫三策小亮點 虛晃一招不夠力

前, 與 Michael 兄剛談了不久, 我的網路就 Crash了; 今天, 將我過去搜集
的資料, 抖出來, 曬曬太陽; 分上, 下兩篇, 下篇偏重英國行政部門的實際
作法; 

這項議題, 在尊崇資本主義的國家, 本應經濟議題, 由市埸法則來決定;
但實務上, 踫到政治時, 尤其在選舉年, 不但競選人爭相加碼, 選完後, 
為凸顯政府的偉大恩施雨露, 硬是以公權力介入; 全世界上, 目前有一百餘
國家訂有關最低工資, 經幾十年的驗証, 發現其功效僅在於保護欠缺技術
的基層勞工 (主要是年青人, 及年長婦女) 不被資本主過度剝削, 提供一最
低微的社會保護網; 

這自認英明, 而連自己也吵不清楚搞經濟學, 對這議題也跳下來攪和, 
一切爭議, 臚列如下 :

總歸
1) 調高最低工資, 對業率影響未知; 若干實証研究, 其甚至有相反
    效果, 即雇主若無法藉調高售價, 而轉嫁其成本, 則減少雇用機會;
    對長期的實質資及企業盈利率均有負面效果; 故為政者, 應改用
    其他政策工具以提高弱勢勞工之收入; 換言之, 改善其技能, 提高
    生產力才是正辦; 
2) 對一般物價水準是否有影響 ? Well, 有下列四種答案

走筆至此, 我要去找找, 卅年, 李光耀一手藉政府硬力干與, 連續提高
最低工資, 逼著各行各業提高競爭效率, 其經濟也藉由此 push 力量, 而
使得低於台灣的平均國民所得, 現在是台灣的兩倍; 他是怎麼辦到的?

搞經濟學的蛋頭, 即便是哈佛耶魯旳教授對此議題, 亦無定論; 如

http://www.igmchicago.org/igm-economic-experts-panel/poll-results?SurveyID=SV_br0IEq5a9E77NMV

Question A: Raising the federal minimum wage to $9 per hour would make it noticeably harder for low-skilled workers to find employment.

Question B: 
The distortionary costs of raising the federal minimum wage to $9 per hour and indexing it to inflation are sufficiently small compared with the benefits to low-skilled workers who can find employment that this would be a desirable policy.
