We analyse the implications of unions (efficient bargaining) for multiplicity of stationary states and welfare, local … external increasing returns to scale, where capital is the unique asset. We find that a slight increase in unions power may … deterministic endogenous fluctuations. However, we find that union’s bargaining power can dramatically influence the local stability …

This paper explores the effects of incomplete markets and positive spillovers on aggregate and industry output behavior. We consider an economy composed of a fixed set of infinitely-lived industries. When industries coordinate production decisions they jointly improve their productivity. Markets...

This paper investigates economic determinants and effects of aggregate union membership in the Federal Republic of Germany. We establish that in the long run, high union membership levels coincide not only with a large labour force, but also with a high level of real wages, a small dispersion of...

This paper analyses how collective bargaining affects the level and structure of labour and capital taxes in OECD countries by using cross-country-time-series data. Corporatist countries are found to have higher effective labor taxes on average during the 1970-1996 period. Effective capital...
