| Abstract: | A two-way causality between intra-contractual strikes and productivity change in U.S. manufacturing is hypothesized: on the one hand, strikes during the term of a contract, which reflect more broadly practiced shop floor militancy, slow the pace of productivity growth; on the other hand, periods of rapid productivity growth provoke increased intra-contractual strike activity. The model is tested with empirical data. Modified two-stage least squares estimates support the hypothesis of two-way causality. |
