Fitzenberger, Bernd (contributor); Kohn, Karsten (contributor) - 2008
Collective bargaining in Germany takes place either at the industry level or at the firm level; collective bargaining coverage is much higher than union density; and not all employees in a covered firm are necessarily covered. This institutional setup suggests to explicitly distinguish union...
