书目名称 | Rationality at Work | 副标题 | Logics of Collective | 编辑 | Peter Michael Doralt | 视频video | | 概述 | Cutting-edge and probably unique in its treatment of the issue, this book provides what is arguably the first synthesis of collective action theory with the economic literature on centralised wage bar | 图书封面 |  | 描述 | Wage setting arrangements are widely seen as key ingredients to macro-economic success. Examining their micro-foundations is an urgent task. Drawing on a treasure chest of empirical insights amassed by other social scientists, this ground-breaking book argues that economists have neglected the institutional underpinning of wage bargaining at their peril. Starting from Olson‘s insight that workers and firms often fail to pursue their collective interests, the book explains how self-reinforcing effects can promote group action – and how this contributed to the shifts in fortune of countries such as Sweden, Ireland and Austria.This book should cause heated scholarly debates. But it assumes no prior knowledge and is highly readable. A short foreword, largely self-contained chapters and a glossary make it easy to navigate.The tools it presents will prove useful to scholars, practitioners, policy-makers or indeed anyone interested in the economic effects of unions and employer associations. | 出版日期 | Book 2005Latest edition | 关键词 | Collective Action; Corporatism; Labour Economics; Political Science; Trade Unions; Wage formation | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/3-211-27915-6 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Vienna 2005 |
