The Adoption of International Labor Standards Conventions : ¤ Who , When and Why ?

چکیده
The rati ̄cation of ILO Labor Standards Conventions is a key explanatory variable in the empirical literature linking labor standards to economic performance. The assumption is that rati ̄cation gives information on labor standards implemented in a country. This paper tests this assumption, and in doing so it investigates the determinants of rati ̄cation directly and, indirectly, the determinants of labor standards. We ̄nd considerable variation across di®erent Conventions, and across developing and developed countries. But there are some systematic and interesting patterns. Most interestingly, we ̄nd that peer e®ects are in play-the probability of adopting an international standard depends on how many other countries in a peer group have already adopted that standard. JEL Classi ̄cation: F16, J58
