An Analysis of the Selection of Arbitrators
分析工会和雇主对仲裁员小组的实际排名数据，发现双方偏好相似，都倾向于律师、经验丰富及曾偏向己方的仲裁员，且无策略性排名证据。
This paper analyses data on union and employer rankings of different panels of arbitrators in an actual arbitration system. A random utility model of bargainer preferences is developed and estimated. The estimates indicate that unions and employers have similar preferences, in favor of lawyers, more experienced arbitrators, and arbitrators who seem to have previously favored their side. Alternative rankings models, which are estimated to test whether bargainers rank arbitrators strategically, reveal no evidence of strategic behavior.
