Is It Worth It? An Experimental Examination of the Added Value of Deliberation in a Direct Democratic Process
It is often argued that deliberation could improve citizens’ acceptance of the outcomes of direct democratic decision-making. However, the available scientific evidence remains limited and it remains unclear to which degree these findings can be generalized and reflect causal effects. We therefore use a randomized survey experiment on a large-scale representative sample of the Dutch population to disentangle the impact of direct democratic proces…
Digital disruption diversified-FinTechs and the emergence of a coopetitive market ecosystem
This article analyses the development of FinTech companies in relation to traditional banks in four countries: Denmark, Estonia, the Netherlands and Sweden. Based on approaches drawn from the sociology of markets and field theory, we analyse and theorize about empirical data from secondary sources, official documents and 38 interviews with key actors. Whereas digital technologies have been commonly depicted as a source of disruption for establish…
Looking up and down and round and round: A Theoretical-Empirical, Individual-Level Analysis of Income Comparisons
Income comparisons imply that individuals care not only about the absolute value of their income but also about its relative value. Such comparisons likely have significant societal consequences while also challenging standard neoclassical economic theory. I argue that a better understanding of income comparisons requires a more systematic, theoretical engagement with three problems: (1) the problem of reference group selection, (2) the problem o…
The role of the capability, opportunity, and motivation of firms for using human resource analytics to monitor employee performance: A multi‐level analysis of the organisational, market, and country c…
The digitalisation of business processes has led to the availability of (big) data which increasingly allows firms to analyse their workforce using HR analytics. On the basis of a cross‐national multi‐level analysis and a data set that covers more than 20,000 firms in all member states of the European Union we investigate the reasons why some firms make use of human resource (HR) analytics to monitor employee performance while others refrain from…
Employment Relations As Networks: Methods and Theory
The strange non-death of employer and business associations: An analysis of their representativeness and activities in Western European countries
Against the background that corporatism is on the decline in recent decades, one could expect that the representativeness of employer and business associations is also declining. In this article it is argued and shown that, contrary to this expectation, this decline is not observable for employer and business associations. So the question arises as to whether employer and business associations are simply relics of a different era with no longer a…
Horizontal and vertical spillovers in wage bargaining: A theoretical framework and experimental evidence
Conflict in wage bargaining is affected by information about other bargaining units and information about the past of the bargaining unit. We develop a theoretical framework for such spillovers and detail four distinct mechanisms. Rational learning and social comparisons are reviewed as mechanisms for the influence of information about other bargaining units, and reputation and expectation effects are reviewed as mechanisms for the influence of i…
Spillover and conflict in collective bargaining: Evidence from a survey of Dutch union and firm negotiators
Using unique survey data on Dutch collective agreement negotiators, the authors model how information about other collective bargaining events influences the probability of negotiators encountering bargaining impasses or industrial action during collective bargaining. Competing hypotheses about this influence, derived from economic, social psychological and sociological approaches, are tested. The findings indicate that information about bargaini…
