Turning non-members into members: Do public subsidies to union membership matter
Union Density Effects on Productivity and Wages
We exploit changes in tax subsidies for union members in Norway to identify the effects of changes in firm-level union density on productivity and wages. Increased deductions in taxable income for union members led to higher membership rates and contributed to a lower decline in union membership rates over time in Norway. Accounting for selection effects and the potential endogeneity of unionisation, the results show that increasing union density…
Diversity among Norwegian Boards of Directors: Does a Quota for Women Improve Firm Performance
Exploiting the Norwegian boards of directors’ quota reform of 2003, this study evaluates the impact of increased diversity on firm performance. Applying difference-in-difference approaches to accounting data covering the period 2003–07, the paper compares the return on assets for non-finance public limited companies (PLCs) and ordinary limited companies (LTDs), whereof only the former were affected by the reform. The impact of the reform on firm …
The Effects of Organizational Change on Worker Well-Being and the Moderating Role of Trade Unions
The authors explore the effects of organizational change on employee well-being using multivariate analyses of linked employer-employee data for Britain, with particular emphasis on whether unions moderate these effects. Nationally representative data consist of 13,500 employees in 1,238 workplaces. Organizational changes are associated with increased job-related anxiety and lower job satisfaction. The authors find that job-related anxiety is ame…

Employer Size or Skill Group Size Effect on Wages
The authors analyze explanations for firm- or establishment-size effects on wages. One theory is that each firm faces an upward sloping supply curve for labor, implying that the number of any particular type of worker should matter for his or her level of pay, rather than the total number of workers in the firm. To test this hypothesis, the authors add the log of skill group size to the standard log wage equation. Results indicate that the tradit…

Estimating Workers' Marginal Willingness to Pay for Safety using Linked Employer–Employee Data
In this study, Norwegian linked employer–employee panel data covering 1994–96 are used to estimate workers' marginal willingness to pay (MWP) for safety, thus providing unique comparisons between estimates of MWPs from hedonic wage, quit and job duration models. Hedonic wage regressions show that higher injury hazards imply higher wages. Quit and duration regressions show that higher injury hazards imply higher job exit probabilities, while highe…
