We analyze the redistributional (dis)advantages of a minimum wage over income taxation in competitive labor markets without imposing assumptions on the (in)efficiency of labor rationing. Compared to a distributionally equivalent tax change, a minimum-wage increase raises involuntary unemployment,...
