Increases in monopoly power on the goods market also have a stronger impact on wages when there are efficiency wage effects, but the proportional effect of bargaining and market power on the wage is independent of the proportional effect of efficiency wages.

We also find that efficiency wage effects alter the form of the labour demand curve to make it backward bending. We consider efficiency wage effects in a union-firm bargaining model with private information.

We show that efficiency wage effects do not necessarily increase the wage level at equilibrium. However, if it is commonly known that the union is stronger than the firm and the productivity enhancing effects of paying higher wages are sufficiently large, then efficiency wage effects still increase the wage.

Introduction Models of efficiency wages and union-firm bargaining have achieved considerable popularity in the labour economics literature in recent years. In this paper, I outline a simple model with elements of both, and examine the following by: This paper merges a cost-based model of union bargaining power, in which bargaining power reflects relative costs of agreement and disagreement facing unions and management, with an efficiency Author: William D.

We find that combining efficiency wages and union-firm bargaining leads to higher wages, confirming an original insight of Summers. We consider efficiency wage effects in a union-firm bargaining model with private information. We show that efficiency wage effects do not necessarily increase the wage level at equilibrium.

If worker bargaining power is weak an efficiency wage equilibrium where bargaining has no affect on the contract emerges. If worker bargaining power is strong we have a bargaining contract that is unaffected by the efficiency wage constraint.

Empirical evidence shows that efficiency wage effects matter only for non-union workers. Taxes and Unemployment: Collective Bargaining and Efficiency Wage Models [Goerke, Laszlo] on *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers.

We show that without insurance considerations, efficiency is achieved by equating the wage. UNION BARGAINING POWER IN AN EFFICIENCY WAGE ENVIRONMENT In an effort model, the implicit threat of job loss serves as a sanction which induces favorable behavior - more effort - from the worker.

The worker, who occupies the long-side of the labor market, has no ability to retaliate since she or he is replaceable. Collective bargaining has led to union wages averaging 10 to 30 percent higher than non-union wages.

According to the Service Employees International Union, which represents government employees, the median wages of union workers are 28 percent greater than non-union workers. Bargaining Power Union bargaining power derives from the ability of the union to inflict damage on the firm by withdrawing labor.

This works when there is no substitute pool of nonunion workers, for example, if there are high labor turnover costs or if the union controls labor supply through entry restrictions. The existence of union wages, efficiency wages, and the minimum wage raises the real wage rate above the equilibrium wage and raises the natural unemployment rate.

The upshot is that only when the local unions are fairly strong, can one expect a two-level system to lead to lower wages than local bargaining.

Social efficiency Social efficiency in our model simply means maximum production, which again means maximum input of labour measured in efficiency units (max [lambda]N).

A union will likely be more effective at bargaining for a wage increase: the less elastic is the demand for the product. Compared to the wage-employment outcome generated by a monopoly union, a Pareto-improving efficient outcome. This book proposes an alternative view according to which wage developments need to be strengthened through a Europe-wide coordinated reconstruction of collective bargaining as a precondition for more sustainable and more inclusive growth in Europe.

In other words, if the union has too strong a preference for the wage level, compared to the employment level, too high union power may lead to meaningless results ($$\bar{\varphi } > 1$$).For given levels of union bargaining power, there is therefore a limit to the preference of the unions for the wage level (i.e.

We have shown that defining the outside option in the efficiency wage logic as the market-clearing wage solves this difficulty, and is justifiable in terms of the assumed behaviour of workers and employers.

The model that we examine confirms earlier findings of reinforcing effects between union-firm bargaining and efficiency wages.

The merits of collective bargaining have been argued by both opponents and proponents of the process; the former maintain that it deprives the worker of his individual liberty to dispose of his service, while the latter point out that without the union's protection the worker is subject to the dictation of the employer.

Econom. Rev. 78 () ). Increases in monopoly power on the goods market also have a stronger impact on wages when there are efficiency wage effects. It would be difficult, even today, to argue that labour unions are not important economic institutions, and it is this importance that makes their consequences for efficiency so substantial.
