| Abstract: | This article assesses the impact of international trade on union bargaining power in five EU countries by using a two-step estimation procedure. In the first step, company-level data is used to estimate union bargaining power at sector level within a production function framework. Simultaneously, the study tests for the bargaining regime and estimate, rather than imposes, union preferences. It is found that a labour-hoarding regime is clearly favoured over an efficient bargaining or a right-to-manage framework. Overall, unions appear to be wage-oriented. |
