Open in Marx MaxFind relevant papers and bibliographic information through the official OpenAlex MCP, and organize a reading list with source links.
Use the official OpenAlex MCP to search for empirical research on the employment effects of minimum wages. Select 8 papers for further reading. List each paper’s title, authors, year, publication venue, and DOI or source link. Briefly explain its research question and relevance using abstracts actually obtained. Mark unavailable abstracts and do not invent findings. Do not count working-paper and journal versions of the same study twice. Check online publication years against journal issue years; prefer the journal publication year and note any difference. Mark years that remain unverified. Save the results in the project as `最低工资与就业-阅读清单.md` for source checks, notes, and further reading. If OpenAlex is not connected or signed in, explain the required action; do not present another search method as official MCP results.
