Card and Krueger
What's wrong with Card and Krueger? Do you think their contributions are insufficient or do you think that they don't have any? Is the issue with Card, Krueger or both?
Nahhh. Higher wages cause unemployment as shown by the Seattle data:

No nobel for silly empirical work. Wages as a giffen good?/???Being a giffen good has to do with individual demand and NOTHING with general equilibrium. Suppose you have two agents and a fixed supply of good X. They have preferences such that X is Giffen. Can you determine that X is Giffen only from aggregate data?

No nobel for silly empirical work. Wages as a giffen good?/???I'm sorry, but what do you mean by wages as a Giffen good? Don't you mean labour as Giffen good (i.e. the demand for labour increases if wages increase, making it a Giffen good)?
