摘要：
Tips allow restaurants to pay sewers lower wages. As more sewers are hired, each serves fewer meals and earns less in tips. As a result, restaurants must pay a higher wage. This gives them monopsony power over wages. Over some range, a higher minimum wage should increase employment. Empirically, we found the full ''reverse C'' monopsony pattern of employment for restaurants, with employment first going up and then down as the minimum wage is increased.
