| Abstract: | Industrial relations and welfare state are interrelated. This article discusses and tests the impact of industrial relations on social expenditures, including "social pacts" as a means of combining wage moderation and welfare state reforms on the basis of time-series data for 20 OECD countries. The results show that industrial relations have an impact mainly through the differential effects of distinct bargaining systems; a minor impact results from their externalities. |
