Unionized Oligopoly, Trade Liberalization and Location Choice
Author: Kjell Erik Lommerud
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Corporations, Foreign
Languages : en
Pages : 44
Book Description
In a two-country reciprocal dumping model, with one country unionized, we analyze how wage setting and firm location are influenced by trade liberalization. We show that trade liberalization can induce FDI, which is at odds with conventional theoretical wisdom and cannot happen in a corresponding model without unionization. FDI is undertaken partly to win a distributional battle with unionized labor, and the incentives to invest abroad can be too large seen from a welfare point of view.

Oligopoly, Open Shop Unions and Trade Liberalisation
Author: Paulo Bastos
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 33
Book Description
In an international oligopoly model, we investigate how trade liberalisation impacts on collective bargaining outcomes when workers are represented by open shop unions. We find that, with intermediate levels of union density, trade liberalisation may lead to higher negotiated wages even if no trade occurs in equilibrium. In addition, we show that union wages may be higher with free trade than in autarky.

Open Shop Unions and International Trade Liberalisation

Book Description
This paper extends the international oligopoly model to the situation of bargaining with an open shop union. Within this setting, we are able to investigate the implications of different levels of union density for both the equilibrium trade regime and wages. We then use this model to examine the response of wages to product market integration in the presence of different levels of union density. We find that, with intermediate levels of union density, wages need neither to fall monotonically as trade liberalisation occurs, nor indeed to fall in absolute terms as an economy moves from autarky to free trade.

The Endogenous Decisions of Unionization and International Trade

Pages : 0
Book Description
This paper presents a multi-sectoral general oligopolistic equilibrium trade model in which unionized and non-unionized sectors interact. In our model, the proportion of unionized sectors is endogenously determined. We show that this proportion depends on exogenous parameters such as productivity, population, number of firms, union costs and labor union formation. We also show that trade openness between symmetric countries raises the competitive wage and lowers the proportion of unionized sectors.

Applied Approaches to Societal Institutions and Economics
Author: Tohru Naito
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9811056633
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
This book gives readers the theoretical and empirical methods to analyze applied economics. They are institutional economics, information economics, environmental economics, international economics, financial economics, industrial organization, public economics, law and economics, and spatial economics. Because the chapters of this book deal with current topics in these categories, they are relevant not only to researchers and graduate students but also to policy makers and entrepreneurs. As there is uncertainty about the global economy, it is necessary to consider optimal, efficient behavior to survive in the confused world. The book is organized in three parts. Part 1 deals with institutional economics, information economics, and related topics, approached through game theory. Part 2 focuses on environmental economics, international economics, and financial economics, through a microeconomic or econometric approach. Finally, Part 3 concentrates on public economics, social security, and related fields, through microeconomics or macroeconomics.
