Testing between Competing Models of Wage and Employment Determination in Unionized Markets
提出一种实证方法，区分工会化市场中工资与就业是落在企业劳动需求曲线还是双方契约曲线上，并以报业和国际排字工会为例检验，发现劳动需求曲线模型与数据不符，契约曲线模型更符合观察。
Two models of wage and employment determination in unionized markets are routinely exposited. According to one, wage and employment outcomes are on the firm's labor demand curve; according to the other, wages and employment are on the partie' contract curve. This paper spells out an empirical procedure that discriminates between these two models and applies this procedure to the particular case of the newspaper industry and the International Typographical Union. The labor demand curve model is inconsistent with our data, while the contract curve model comes closer to describing our observations.
