| Abstract: | This article provides a systematic review of the empirical literature on the issues of the title. Among others, it emerges from the review that it is different types and coverage of bargaining coordination, rather than cross-country variation in trade union density, that matter for economic performance. Finally, bargaining coordination seems to matter most in times of rapid economic change rather than under more stable conditions. It is concluded that the total 'package' of formal and informal labour market institutions matters for the performance of the economy rather than unionisation. |
