Economics

Has anyone ever done a serious study, I wonder, to see what the benefits would be of balancing an increase in minimum wage with establishing a maximum wage law? I.e., How much would setting a cap on what executives and doctors (for instance) could make help off-set price inflation for goods and services that raising the minimum wage alone would otherwise result in? Or is that just what we fought the Cold War to avoid?
