Relative Wages under Decentralized and Corporatist Bargaining Systems
研究了集体谈判的集中程度与工资不平等之间的关系，区分中央和地方工资决定系统，分析技能差异和租金差异两种工资差异来源，发现集中化对技能工资差异影响不确定，但企业间工资差异在社团主义体系中更低。
In studying the relationship between wage inequality and centralization in collective bargaining, the authors distinguish central from local systems of wage determination by assuming that a central union takes the employment effects of negotiated wages into account, whereas unions disregard these effects in decentralized systems. Two different sources of wage differentials are studied separately: (1) heterogeneous workers with different skills and (2) heterogeneous firms with varying levels of economic rent per employee. With respect to skill levels, the impact of centralization is ambiguous, whereas interfirm wage differentials are likely to be lower in corporatist systems.
