Work-Life Flexibility Policies
The authors examine the influence of individual and collective voice mechanisms on employee access to and use of six work-life flexibility practices. Their multilevel analyses are based on an original survey of 897 workers nested in departments across eight unionized establishments in the United States. Collective voice measures include the effectiveness of union pay benefits and union schedule support at the individual and union (group) levels. …
Union Wages and Union Decline
Two well-documented empirical findings are that unionized employees typically receive substantially higher compensation than their non-union counterparts and that union representation in the United States has declined over time. Some observers have hypothesized a causal link between these two phenomena: the achievement of a union wage premium, they argue, hastened union decline both by reducing union firms' economic competitiveness and by inducin…
The Minimum Wage
Do moderate increases in the minimum wage reduce employment? If not, do they nevertheless raise wages? To examine these questions, we apply techniques of time series analysis and systems estimation that are commonly used in macroeconomics and finance to five panels of data that contain between 11 and 34 low-wage industries. Our answers are "No" and "Yes," respectively. We find that increases in the federal minimum wage between 1947 and 1997 have …
Public wage differentials and the treatment of occupational differences
Past research demonstrates that the estimated size of the federal government earnings differential shrinks substantially with the addition of detailed occupational controls. Possible explanations for this reduction are: controlling for the differing sectoral distributions of common occupations, and controlling for detailed occupations unique to each sector. While occupational detail does not eliminate the federal differential, more than two‐third…

1994).The final synthesis chapter would probablyhave benefited from more extensive integra-tion of the extant literature on the factors un-derlying the decline in American private sectorunionism with the results derived from the stud-ies in the volume. This would have broadenedits scope and relevance as a review piece.Finally, in their reflections in the summarychapter, the editors suggest that unions as a“social institution [have] to pass the ‘m…
The Effects of Deregulation, De-Unionization, Technology, and Human Capital on the Work and Work Lives of Truck Drivers
The earnings of truck drivers fell by 21% between 1973 and 1995. Using Current Population Survey data, the authors find that deregulation accounted for one-third of the decline in drivers' wages, with a larger negative effect for non-union workers. Economic forces that broadly affected the blue-collar economy, proxied by the manufacturing wage, accounted for more than two-thirds of the decline. Finally, using unique survey data, the authors explo…
Public Sector Employment in a Time of Transition
Public Sector Earnings and the Extent of Unionization
Many studies have examined the influence of union density (union members as a percentage of all workers) on earnings in the private sector, but few such studies have looked at the public sector. Using data from the 1991 Current Population Survey, this study estimates the determinants of earnings for state and local government employees in both the union and nonunion sectors. The extent of public sector unionization appears to be positively correl…
Wage Effects of Increased Union Coverage
Although many studies show a positive relationship between extent of unionization and union members' wages, some analysts suggest that this relationship could reflect a concentration of labor organization in industries with potentially high wage gains, rather than unions' efficacy in raising wages. Consistent with that speculation, studies across occupations or geographic areas generally show a much weaker relationship between unionization and wa…

Wages, Incentive Schemes, and the Role of Gender
Goldin (1986) adds to this subject by introducing the role of gender into the choice of a compensation scheme. Goldin argues that women are more likely to be paid according to an incentive scheme because their behavior cannot be influenced as readily by the judicious use of time rates designed to elicit effort. By rearranging the profile of lifetime earnings so that workers accumulate unpaid rents during early years which are paid out during late…
Sheepskin Effects in the Returns to Education
Recent confirmation of sheepskin effects in the returns to education for prime age white males has been taken as evidence of screening or signaling in the labor market. The authors report evidence of sheepskin effects among women and minority males, and demonstrate that they are somewhat smaller for lower diploma years, but larger for higher diploma years, than those of white males. These are among the first broad-based results confirming the fre…
Union Membership, Union Organization and the Dispersion of Wages
A variance components model explains wage dispersion with a specific version of generalized least squares. The estimation preserves individual data while examining the influence of union penetration on dispersion in both the union and nonunion sectors. Controlling for both individual and industry characteristics and for the endogeneity of wages, union penetration correlates strongly with reduced dispersion in the union sector but not in the nonun…
Concentration, Unionism, and Labor Earnings
Using a simultaneous equations model of wages and union membership, the elasticity of the wage with respect to market concentration is estimated to be approximately 0.2. The estimate uses a large data set and extensive controls to measure concentration's direct effect on the wage, an indirect effect through unionization, and a feedback effect. The indirect effect represents the majority of concentration's effect. Copyright 1988 by MIT Press
Incentive Schemes and Racial Wage Discrimination
We use a major micro data set to investigate the influence of incentive schemes on wage discrimination against blacks. Incentive schemes which directly link earnings and productivity appear to generally raise earnings, but they increase wages of blacks proportionately more than those of whites. This reduces the residual attributable to discrimination and suggests it is easier to discriminate when earnings are based on perceptions of input (evalua…
