The Relationship Between Union Membership and Net Fiscal Impact
利用1994-2015年当前人口调查数据,研究发现工会会员身份通过工人层面的渠道对净财政影响(个人纳税与所获公共福利成本之差)产生正向作用。
This paper develops the first evidence on how individuals’ union membership status affects their net fiscal impact, the difference between taxes they pay and cost of public benefits they receive, enriching our understanding of how labor relations interacts with public economics. Current Population Survey data between 1994 and 2015 in pooled cross‐sections and individual first‐difference models yield evidence that union membership has a positive net fiscal impact through the worker‐level channels studied.
