Addison, John T.; Teixeira, Paulino; Zwick, Thomas - 2006

This paper provides the first full examination of the effect of German works councils on wages using matched employer-employee data (specifically, the LIAB for 2001). We find that works councils are associated with higher earnings. The wage premium is around 11 percent (and is higher under...

Unobserved firm and worker heterogeneity is dealt with using two establishment sub-samples, comprising collective bargaining joiners...

Changes in Bargaining Status and Intra-Plant Wage Dispersion in Germany: A Case of (Almost) Plus Ça Change?

Addison, John T.; Kölling, Arnd; Teixeira, Paulino - 2014

Recent studies have pointed to the association between declining collective bargaining coverage and rising overall wage inequality. This association holds more or less across-the-board, at least for broad swathes of recent history. That said, the exact contribution of deununionization is a...

Indicative and Updated Estimates of the Collective Bargaining Premium in Germany

Addison, John T.; Teixeira, Paulino; Evers, Katalin; … - 2013

This study provides updated evidence on the union contract differential in Germany using establishment-wide wage data and two estimation strategies. It provides pairwise estimates of the union differential based on separate samples of collective bargaining leavers and joiners vis-à-vis the...

Is the erosion thesis overblown? Evidence from the orientation of uncovered employers

Addison, John T.; Teixeira, Paulino; Evers, Katalin; … - 2012

It is sometimes claimed that the coverage of collective bargaining in Germany is considerably understated because of orientation, a process whereby uncovered firms profess to shadow the wages set under sectoral bargaining. Yet importantly, at a time when collective bargaining proper has been in...
