Efficient Union Contracts in the Presence of Homogeneous Labor and Differentiated Unions
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper discusses the features of the labor market outcome in the presence of homogeneous labor and multiple unions. It is argued that contract curve agreements, or at least efficient bargaining among unions, may be improved upon by a solution with differential or non-uniform wage payments for workers affiliated to different unions. The equilibrium solution in terms of employment and/or wage bill shares implied for each union with uniform and multiple wage is investigated and confronted for the cases of: a. efficient bargaining among the unions b. fully efficient bargaining, considering Stone-Geary union utility functions and labor demand is linear. c © 2004 Peking University Press

We show that, if the state maintains industrial employment despite import liberalisation, through cheaper credit to firms, then employer evasion will increase, due to a rise in the formal-informal wage gap. Institutional delays in punishment of employer e...

At that time, the system appeared to be a case of pluralism, recognized and supported by the statute of workers' rights (Act 300/1970).

متن کاملTechnical efficiency, unions and decentralized labor contracts
This paper explores the link between the presence of unions in the workplace, the adoption of decentralized labor agreements and technical efficiency, using a large sample of Italian manufacturing firms. We apply the Data Envelopment Analysis, and its robust version based on bootstrap theory, to get reliable estimates of technical efficiency at the firm level in a standard first stage. We devot...
