Bargaining, Compensating Wage Differentials, and Dualism of the Labor Market: Theory and Evidence for France
结合享乐工资模型和集体谈判模型,提出工会力量效应,并用法国截面数据验证了工资与良好工作条件之间同时存在市场效应(负相关)和工会力量效应(正相关)。
The theory of compensating differentials predicts a negative relationship between wages and good working conditions, while the theory of segmentation predicts a positive one. Combining the hedonic wage model and the wages-employment collective bargaining model, the authors show the relevance of a further factor: a union power effect. Then they test the validity of this effect with French cross-section data. Empirical results confirm the predictions of the model, that is, the coexistence of a negative relationship between wages and good working conditions for the whole sample (market effect) and a positive relationship in highly unionized sectors (union power effect).
