Union Cooperation and Nontraded Goods in General Equilibrium
构建了一个包含贸易品和非贸易品、部门特定工会的小型开放经济一般均衡模型,比较了非合作与不同合作形式下工资形成对就业和福利的影响。
A general equilibrium model of a small open economy with traded and nontraded goods and sector-specific trade unions is set up. Wage formation is either noncooperative or cooperative. Egalitarian union wage policy is shown to be the equilibrium under cooperation. Important asymmetries are encountered and an alternative model of cooperative behavior called bargaining cooperation is proposed. Bargaining cooperation is shown to have qualitatively different implications than simple cooperation. The welfare and employment effects of bargaining cooperation compared to simple cooperation are ambiguous. Copyright 1992 by The editors of the Scandinavian Journal of Economics.
