  • The Politics of Statutory Extensions of Collective Bargaining in Norway

    Open Access•Trond Holmen Erlien, Garnett Picot•ARTICLE•Scandinavian Political Studies•2025•Referencias: 33

    By extending collective wage agreements through the force of law, states can prop up dwindling collective bargaining. This is a common policy in Continental Europe, but less so in Scandinavia. Norway adopted a law for statutory extensions in 1993. The first extensions were implemented in 2004, and extensions have become ever more common since. This article analyses the introduction and use of statutory extensions in Norway, using in‐depth intervi…

  • Why We Need Minimum Wages

    Open Access•Christian Schemmel, Garnett Picot•ARTICLE•American Political Science Review•2025•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 44

    Statutory minimum wages have become an important tool for regulating labor markets. One major reason is the decline in collective wage bargaining. But how can minimum wages be justified? We show that their best justification does not lie in their economic effects but in the respect for social contributors that they express. The article takes an innovative interdisciplinary approach, bridging political philosophy and comparative political economy.…

  • Regulating low wages

    Open Access•Siri Hansen Pedersen, Garnett Picot•ARTICLE•Socio-Economic Review•2023•Citada por: 7•Referencias: 10

    This article provides a comparative analysis of three central policies to regulate low wages: statutory minimum wages, state support for collective bargaining and topping up low wages with public transfers (in-work benefits). We map the variation of these policies across 33 OECD countries and analyze the incidence of low-wage employment they are associated with. We find three approaches to regulating low wages. In the first, ‘wage scale protectio…

  • Platform work in a Coordinated Market Economy

    Open Access•Corinna Funke, Garnett Picot•ARTICLE•Industrial Relations Journal•2021

    To investigate whether platform work can grow even in political economies with an adverse institutional environment, we examine Germany as a least likely case. We assess what constrains the growth of platform work in Germany as well as whether existing economic and social institutions adapt to it. We find that platform work is being accommodated in the German political economy, but in a very limited space. The most important institution constrain…

  • The decline in the naturalization rate among recent immigrants in Canada

    Open Access•Feng Hou, Garnett Picot•ARTICLE•Migration Studies•2020•Referencias: 5

    The naturalization rate of immigrants is jointly affected by immigrant characteristics, economic, and political circumstances in the source country and government policies in the destination country. This article focuses on the effect of altering government policies in the destination country, using legislative and regulatory changes introduced in Canada over the 2006–16 period as a test case. We hypothesize that the least advantaged immigrants w…

  • Three approaches to labor-market vulnerability and political preferences

    This contribution starts by presenting the three main approaches that political scientists use to analyze labor market vulnerability. We proceed to discuss various operationalizations of labor market vulnerability. We examine how they relate to the three theoretical approaches and we evaluate the consistency between theory and measurement. Finally, we recommend three measures that political scientists should deploy when analyzing the effect of la…

  • Political parties and non-standard employment

    Open Access•Garnett Picot, Georg Picot et al.•ARTICLE•Socio-Economic Review•2019•Citada por: 5•Referencias: 31

    Recent research has shown that new labour market divides resulting from the rise of non-standard employment (NSE) are reflected in the political preferences of the workers affected. Yet, our knowledge of the stance of political parties on the issue is extremely limited, even descriptively. Do they address NSE in the context of election campaigns-if so, which parties do? How do they frame non-standard work and what policies do they propose? The ar…

  • Immigrant STEM Workers in the Canadian Economy

    Garnett Picot, Feng Hou•ARTICLE•Canadian Public Policy•2018•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 2

    This study examines trends in the education–occupation match and earnings outcomes of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM)–educated immigrants and compares them with the outcomes of their Canadian-born counterparts. From 1985 to 2010, both education–occupation match and earnings outcomes deteriorated among immigrant STEM graduates while remaining more or less constant among Canadian-born STEM graduates. The decline in education–occup…

  • All of one kind? Labour market reforms under austerity in Italy and Spain

    Garnett Picot, Georg Picot et al.•ARTICLE•Socio-Economic Review•2017•Citada por: 51•Referencias: 23

    Most scholars have highlighted the commonalities of labour market reforms under austerity in Europe, mostly in terms of liberalization. We argue that a more differentiated analysis is in order, as empirical developments point to distinct reform trajectories. We analyse in detail the two South-European cases where pressure for austerity was intense but governments maintained a degree of discretion as they were not subjected to direct bailout condi…

  • Changing Immigrant Characteristics and Pre-Landing Canadian Earnings

    Feng Hou, Garnett Picot•ARTICLE•Canadian Public Policy•2016•Citada por: 10•Referencias: 2

    During the 1990s and 2000s, the characteristics of new immigrants to Canada changed significantly across several dimensions, including education, admission class, source region, and pre-landing Canadian work experience, owing at least partly to changes in immigration selection policies. This article examines whether these changes affected earnings trends among immigrants. Among all new immigrants and economic principal applicants, aside from cycl…

  • The Human Capital Model of Selection and Immigrant Economic Outcomes

    Open Access•Garnett Picot, Feng Hou et al.•ARTICLE•International Migration•2016•Citada por: 7

    This article examines the trends in the economic advantage that highly educated immigrants hold over less educated immigrants in Canada, focusing on the differences between short‐run and longer‐run outcomes. Using data from the Longitudinal Immigration Database covering the period from the 1980s to the 2000s, this study finds that the relative entry earnings advantage that higher education provides to new immigrants has decreased dramatically ove…

  • Globalization and healthcare policy

    Lukas Fervers, Philipp Oser et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of European Public Policy•2016•Citada por: 5•Referencias: 56

    Research on globalization and social policy has indicated that differentiating between policy fields is a promising way to disentangle the complex relationship between global economic integration and welfare states. Moreover, while there is a specific literature on healthcare spending, it has so far neglected globalization as a potential influence. Consequently, this article examines the impact of globalization on healthcare expenditure. We probe…

  • European Welfare States and Migrant Poverty

    Open Access•Gerda Hooijer, Garnett Picot et al.•ARTICLE•Comparative Political Studies•2015•Citada por: 24•Referencias: 48

    In almost all European welfare states, immigrants face a higher risk of poverty than natives, but the gap between the two groups varies. In examining this variation, our article contributes to the nascent literature on the impact of welfare states on immigrants. We hypothesize that whether immigrants benefit from welfare generosity depends on three intervening factors: immigration policy, labor market regulation, and welfare eligibility rules. We…

  • Annual Levels of Immigration and Immigrant Entry Earnings in Canada

    The annual level of immigration is a critical component of a country's immigration policy. This study considers the potential influence of immigration levels on immigrant entry earnings. Using the Longitudinal Immigration Database over the 1982–2010 period, this study finds that a 10 percent increase in the size of a cohort of entering immigrants is associated with a 0.8 percent decline in entry earnings among immigrant men in that cohort and a 0…

  • New Directions in Immigration Policy

    Open Access•A Ferrer, Ana M Ferrer et al.•ARTICLE•International Migration Review•2014•Citada por: 27•Referencias: 13

    Canada's immigration system is currently undergoing significant change driven by several goals that include (1) a desire to improve the economic outcomes of entering immigrants; (2) an attempt to better respond to short-term regional labor market shortages often associated with commodity booms, and (3) a desire to shift immigration away from the three largest cities to other regions of the country. These goals reflect the implementation of new im…

  • Party Systems and Social Policy

    Garnett Picot, Georg Picot•ARTICLE•West European Politics•2014•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 16

    The article shows how the development of social policy in Italy and Germany was influenced by their respective party systems. Its focus is on the differences between systems of unemployment protection in the two countries after World War II. Due to many similarities between the two states, in particular the dominant presence of Christian democratic parties in both national governments at the time, this divergence cannot be adequately explained by…

  • The party preferences of atypical workers in Germany

    Open Access•Paul Marx, Garnett Picot et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of European Social Policy•2013•Citada por: 45•Referencias: 13

    Are party preferences of atypical workers distinct from those in stable employment? The welfare state literature debates this question, but very few empirical studies have been conducted. We examine the German case, being an example of a welfare state with strong social insurance traditions where the rise of atypical employment has been conspicuous. In particular, we test the argument that preferences of labour market outsiders may not differ bec…

  • Why Immigrant Background Matters for University Participation

    Open Access•Garnett Picot, Feng Hou•ARTICLE•International Migration Review•2013•Citada por: 5•Referencias: 15

    This article extends our understanding of the difference in university participation between students with and without immigrant backgrounds by contrasting outcomes in Switzerland and Canada and by the use of new longitudinal data that are comparable between the countries. The research includes family socio-demographic characteristics, family aspirations regarding university education, and the student's secondary school performance as explanatory…

Nos résultats montrent que, chez les femmes, la séparation et le divorce ont un effet négatif plus important que le veuvage. L’effet de la séparation et du divorce est pl…

  • Why Have Poorer Neighbourhoods Stagnated Economically while the Richer Have Flourished? Neighbourhood Income Inequality in Canadian Cities

    Open Access•Wen‐hao Chen, Wen-Hao Chen et al.•ARTICLE•Urban Studies•2012•Citada por: 22•Referencias: 12

    Higher-income neighbourhoods in Canada’s eight largest cities flourished economically during the past quarter-century, while lower-income communities stagnated. This paper identifies some of the underlying processes that led to this outcome. Increasing family income inequality drove much of the rise in neighbourhood inequality. Increased spatial economic segregation, the increasing tendency of ‘like to live nearby like’, also played a role. It is…

    This paper compares changes in relative wages of university educated new immigrant workers in Canada and the United States over the period 1980–2005 and finds that outcomes were generally superior in the United States. Wages of university educated new immigrants declined relative to domestic born university graduates over the study period in Canada but rose between 1990 and 2000 in the United States. The university wage premium for new immigrants…

  • Poverty Dynamics among Recent Immigrants to Canada

    This paper examines two issues: (1) poverty dynamics among successive cohorts of entering immigrants to Canada, and (2) whether rising educational attainment and increasing share in the “skilled” class since the early 1990s has resulted in improvements in poverty entry, exit, and chronic poverty. The entry to poverty is very high during the first year in Canada, but low in subsequent years. The dramatic move toward more labor-market friendly char…

Consequently, the recent fundamental reforms (‘Hartz reforms’) pose a challenge to previous research. By looking at the spatial configuration of the party system and at policy demand, this article argues that the incremental retre…

  • Social Transfers, Changing Family Structure and Low Income among Children

    Our aim in this paper is to resolve a paradox. Despite declining real earnings among young adults, there has been no secular rise in child poverty. We show that the relative stability in child poverty is a result of two factors. First, the decline in market income in young families with children has been offset by rising transfers. Since the 1970s, social transfers have replaced earnings as the main source of income among low-income families with…

    Employment rates and earnings among Canadian lone mothers have improved significantly since 1980.

    Open Access•Garnett Picot, Feng Hou•ARTICLE•International Migration Review•2013•Citada por: 5•Referencias: 15

    This article extends our understanding of the difference in university participation between students with and without immigrant backgrounds by contrasting outcomes in Switzerland and Canada and by the use of new longitudinal data that are comparable between the countries. The research includes family socio-demographic characteristics, family aspirations regarding university education, and the student's secondary school performance as explanatory…

  • Annual Levels of Immigration and Immigrant Entry Earnings in Canada

    Feng Hou, Garnett Picot•ARTICLE•Canadian Public Policy•2014•Citada por: 4•Referencias: 5

    The annual level of immigration is a critical component of a country's immigration policy. This study considers the potential influence of immigration levels on immigrant entry earnings. Using the Longitudinal Immigration Database over the 1982–2010 period, this study finds that a 10 percent increase in the size of a cohort of entering immigrants is associated with a 0.8 percent decline in entry earnings among immigrant men in that cohort and a 0…

  • New Directions in Immigration Policy

    Open Access•A Ferrer, Ana M Ferrer et al.•ARTICLE•International Migration Review•2014•Citada por: 27•Referencias: 13

    Canada's immigration system is currently undergoing significant change driven by several goals that include (1) a desire to improve the economic outcomes of entering immigrants; (2) an attempt to better respond to short-term regional labor market shortages often associated with commodity booms, and (3) a desire to shift immigration away from the three largest cities to other regions of the country. These goals reflect the implementation of new im…

  • Party Systems and Social Policy

    Garnett Picot, Georg Picot•ARTICLE•West European Politics•2014•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 16

    The article shows how the development of social policy in Italy and Germany was influenced by their respective party systems. Its focus is on the differences between systems of unemployment protection in the two countries after World War II. Due to many similarities between the two states, in particular the dominant presence of Christian democratic parties in both national governments at the time, this divergence cannot be adequately explained by…

  • European Welfare States and Migrant Poverty

    Open Access•Gerda Hooijer, Garnett Picot et al.•ARTICLE•Comparative Political Studies•2015•Citada por: 24•Referencias: 48

    In almost all European welfare states, immigrants face a higher risk of poverty than natives, but the gap between the two groups varies. In examining this variation, our article contributes to the nascent literature on the impact of welfare states on immigrants. We hypothesize that whether immigrants benefit from welfare generosity depends on three intervening factors: immigration policy, labor market regulation, and welfare eligibility rules. We…

  • Changing Immigrant Characteristics and Pre-Landing Canadian Earnings

    Feng Hou, Garnett Picot•ARTICLE•Canadian Public Policy•2016•Citada por: 10•Referencias: 2

    During the 1990s and 2000s, the characteristics of new immigrants to Canada changed significantly across several dimensions, including education, admission class, source region, and pre-landing Canadian work experience, owing at least partly to changes in immigration selection policies. This article examines whether these changes affected earnings trends among immigrants. Among all new immigrants and economic principal applicants, aside from cycl…

  • The Human Capital Model of Selection and Immigrant Economic Outcomes

    Open Access•Garnett Picot, Feng Hou et al.•ARTICLE•International Migration•2016•Citada por: 7

    This article examines the trends in the economic advantage that highly educated immigrants hold over less educated immigrants in Canada, focusing on the differences between short‐run and longer‐run outcomes. Using data from the Longitudinal Immigration Database covering the period from the 1980s to the 2000s, this study finds that the relative entry earnings advantage that higher education provides to new immigrants has decreased dramatically ove…

  • Globalization and healthcare policy

    Lukas Fervers, Philipp Oser et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of European Public Policy•2016•Citada por: 5•Referencias: 56

    Research on globalization and social policy has indicated that differentiating between policy fields is a promising way to disentangle the complex relationship between global economic integration and welfare states. Moreover, while there is a specific literature on healthcare spending, it has so far neglected globalization as a potential influence. Consequently, this article examines the impact of globalization on healthcare expenditure. We probe…

  • All of one kind? Labour market reforms under austerity in Italy and Spain

    Garnett Picot, Georg Picot et al.•ARTICLE•Socio-Economic Review•2017•Citada por: 51•Referencias: 23

    Most scholars have highlighted the commonalities of labour market reforms under austerity in Europe, mostly in terms of liberalization. We argue that a more differentiated analysis is in order, as empirical developments point to distinct reform trajectories. We analyse in detail the two South-European cases where pressure for austerity was intense but governments maintained a degree of discretion as they were not subjected to direct bailout condi…
