En este artículo se examina si las modificaciones practicadas al salario mínimo en la Argentina durante los últimos años generaron efectos "derrame" en la estructura salarial. Se recurre para ello al análisis de las variaciones en las remuneraciones para distintos intervalos salariales que no estarían alcanzados por esta normativa. El enfoque metodológico se basa en la estimación de diferencias en diferencias, a través de mínimos cuadrados ordinarios, aplicada a datos de panel provenientes de la Encuesta Permanente de Hogares (EPH-Indec). Los resultados hallados confirman la existencia de estos efectos en aquellos segmentos de trabajadores con remuneraciones moderadamente superiores al mínimo legal.

This paper examines whether changes in the Argentinean minimum wage in recent years generated spillover effects on wages above the minimum. The analysis looks at the individual wage changes of those initially in a specified interval above the new legal minimum wage. The methodological approach is based on a differencein- differences estimator through ordinary least squares applied to panel data from the Permanent Household Survey (PHS-Indec). Our results confirm the existence of these effects in those segments of workers with wages moderately above the legal minimum.
