Schöb, Ronnie - 2003

Workfare proposals concentrate on the work incentives for welfare recipients, thus focusing on the labor supply side …. This paper analyzes the effects workfare has on labor demand when the labor market is unionized. As workfare reduces the … number of recipients of public financial assistance, a workfare regime, as opposed to a welfare system, weakens the outside …

The Kalai-Smorodinsky solution in labor-market negotiations

Bayındır-Upmann, Thorsten; Gerber, Anke - 2003

Authors who consider efficient bargaining on the labor market predominantly focus on the Nash-bargaining solution. It seems, however, that actual labor market negotiations between an employers federation and a labor union are often characterized by mutual concessions, which may be accounted for...

Equilibrium unemployment and capital intensity under product and labor market imperfections

Kauppi, Heikki (contributor); Koskela, Erkki (contributor); … - 2004

We study the implications of product and labor market imperfections for equilibrium unemployment under both exogenous and endogenous capital intensity. With endogenous capital intensity, stronger labor market imperfections always increase equilibrium unemployment. The relationship between the...

Union membership and employment dynamics : a note

Dittrich, Marcus; Schirwitz, Beate - 2010

We analyze union behavior in a model with membership dynamics and compare the labor market outcomes to static union models. Based on empirical findings we modify standard models and show that the well-known result that static models overstate distortions caused by unions only holds in the...

Welfare policy in the presence of unionised labour and internationally mobile firms

Rocha-Akis, Silvia; Schöb, Ronnie - 2010

In oligopolistic industries, increased cost saving opportunities via offshoring have a moderating effect on trade unions. In order to discourage mobile firms from leaving the country, unions accept lower sector wages. In effect, the negotiated wage becomes independent of workers' bargaining...

Outsourcing cost and tax progression under Nash wage bargaining with flexible outsourcing

Koskela, Erkki - 2010

It is analyzed the impacts of outsourcing cost and wage tax progression under labor market imperfections with Nash wage bargaining and flexible outsourcing. With sufficiently strong (weak) labor market imperfection, lower outsourcing cost has a wage-moderating (wage-increasing) effect so that...

Wage and employment effects of non-binding minimum wages

Dittrich, Marcus; Knabe, Andreas - 2010

Common wisdom holds that the introduction of a non-binding minimum wage is irrelevant for actual wages and employment. Empirical and experimental research, however, has shown that the introduction of a minimum wage can raise even those wages that were already above the new minimum wage. In this...

Capital accumulation and employment cycles in a model of creative destruction

Palokangas, Tapio K. - 2003

A Schumpeterian growth model is constructed for an economy with wage bargaining. It is shown that the economy is subject to cycles in which capital, output and employment vary in fixed proportion. These increase through saving and capital accumulation until a new technology is introduced, at...

Taxation and unemployment : an applied general equilibrium approach : presented at Venice Summer Institute, Workshop on Policy Analysis with Numerical Models, July 2004

Boehringer, Christoph; Boeters, Stefan; Feil, Michael - 2004

We present an applied general equilibrium modelling approach to analyse employment and unemployment effects of labour tax cuts in an economy where wages are determined through firm-union bargaining at the sectoral level. In such a labour market regime, simulations for Germany show that labour...
