Strike Outcomes and Wage Settlements in Spain
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper analyzes collective bargaining using Spanish firm level data. Central to the analysis are the joint determination of wage and strike outcomes in a dynamic framework and the possibility of segregate wage equation for strike and non-strike outcomes. Conditional to strikes taking place, we confirm a negative relationship between strike duration and wage changes in a dynamic context. Furthermore, we find selection in wage equations induced by the strike outcome. In this sense, the possibility of wage determination processes being different in strike and non-strike samples is not rejected by the data. In particular, wage dynamics are of opposite sing in both strike and non-strike equations. Finally, we find evidence of a 0.33 percentage points wage change strike premium. JEL CODE: J52-C33-C35

2372 working paper department of economics UNION WAGES AND THE MINIMUM WAGE
Union Wages and the Minimum Wage Henry S. Farber Massachusetts Institute of Technology It is argued that a change in the minimum wage may affect the outcomes of collective bargaining through its effect on a hypothetical "reference wage" which the union rank-and-file use as a basis of comparison in formulating their wage demand. It is further argued that the importance of the minimum wage in the...
متن کاملSome estimators for dynamic panel data sample selection and switching models
We present estimators for panel data sample selection and switching models where the regression equations are dynamic and it is allowed for the existence of endogenous regressors and correlated individual unobserved heterogeneity. We consider two types of switching models under the names of observed dynamics switching and latent dynamics switching. The dynamic sample selection model implicitly ...

متن کاملWage Bargaining with Time-Varying Threats
We study wage bargaining in which the union is uncertain about the firm's willingness to pay and threat payoffs vary over time. Strike payoffs change over time as replacement workers are hired, as strikers find temporary jobs, and as inventories or strike funds run out. We find that bargaining outcomes are substantially altered if threat payoffs vary. If dispute costs increase in the long-run, ...
متن کامل2010 / 76 Unions ' relative concerns and strikes in wage bargaining
We consider a model of wage determination with private information in a duopoly. We investigate the effects of unions having relative concerns on the negotiated wage and the strike activity. We show that an increase of unions' relative concerns has an ambiguous effect on the strike activity.
