| Abstract: | The authors develop a model of wage bargaining with private information in a duopoly. They investigate how product differentiation and market competition affect wages and strikes. If bargaining takes place at the industry-level, then both the wage outcome and the strike activity do not depend of product differentiation whatever the type of market competition. However, if bargaining takes place at the firm-level, then wages and strikes are increasing with the degree of product differentiation, and the strike activity is smaller under Bertrand than under Cournot competition. |
