La contrattazione collettiva in Europa del Sud al tempo della crisi: aziendalizzazione, europeizzazione, americanizzazione
2018
Il saggio analizza i recenti sviluppi della contrattazione collettiva in Europa del Sud all’insegna del trinomio aziendalizzazione-europeizzazione-americanizzazione: nonostante le differenze strutturali, i sistemi analizzati hanno notevolmente rafforzato il ruolo del contratto aziendale nel sistema delle fonti rispetto alla legge e al contratto nazionale, oltre che funzionalizzato la rappresentanza dei lavoratori in azienda a meccanismi di verifica effettiva del consenso. Tale traiettoria, frutto della governanceeconomica europea quale risposta alla crisi, porta a una convergenza funzionale dei sistemi sud-europei verso quello statunitense, ove prevale la regolazione di prossimità. The essa…
The distributional effects of capital account liberalization
2018
Abstract Episodes of account liberalization increase the Gini measure of inequality, based on panel data estimates for 149 countries from 1970 to 2010. These episodes are also associated with a persistent increase in the share of income going to the top. We investigate three channels through which these impacts could occur. First, the impact of liberalization on inequality is stronger where credit markets lack depth and financial inclusion is low; positive impacts of liberalization on poverty rates also vanish when financial inclusion is low. Second, the impact on inequality is also stronger when liberalization is followed by a financial crisis. Third, liberalization seems to alter the rela…
The extension of collective agreements in France, Portugal and Spain
2020
This article examines the role of extension provisions for collective agreements in France, Portugal and Spain, three countries that have faced pressure to introduce more flexibility in their employment regimes during recent economic crises. The article establishes the continuing importance of extension provisions for maintaining high bargaining coverage in all three countries and traces the origin of national differences in their evolution to the strategies of the various actors, governments, employers and trade unions, and the context in which they are operating. It also looks at the characteristics of the extension regulations themselves.Cet article examine le rôle des mécanismes d’exten…
Spatial Allocation of European Structural Funds: What Is the Role of Strategic Interactions?
2020
This chapter explores the role of strategic interactions that affect the spatial allocation of structural funds in the European Union. More specifically, this chapter seeks to test if the interactions between government decisions are strategic substitutes or complements in the context of the European structural funds allocation. First, we present a theoretical model which depicts how the strategic interactions could affect the allocation of public grants in a bargaining process. Then, we test the direction of strategic interaction on the allocation of structural funds for the 2000–2006 programming period using spatial econometric techniques. We find a negative spatial interaction between Eu…
Wage Bargaining Centralization And Macroeconomic Performance: An Experimental Approach
2001
This paper experimentally analyzes the effect of wage bargaining centralization (WBC) on macroeconomic performance. Our theoretical benchmark comes from that developed by Cukierman and Lippi (1999) to investigate the joint effects of monetary policy and labor market institutions on unemployment and inflation. We focus on the implications of two well known effects related to the degree of WBC: the competitive effect and the strategic effect. To do so we established a simple wage setting mechanism based on the existence of assorted levels of WBC measured by the number of unions in the labor market. In the three control treatments, unions' welfare and monetary rewards depend only on unemployme…
La contrattazione collettiva nazionale di comparto
2021
Il presente lavoro analizza la disciplina della contrattazione collettiva nazionale nel pubblico impiego, con particolare riguardo ai profili evolutivi e giurisprudenziali. The current work analyses the Italian legal framework on national collective bargaining in public administrations, with a specific focus on the historical evolution and judicial orientations.
Spatial mismatch through local public employment agencies Answers from a French quasi-experiment Spatial Mismatch through Local Public Employment Age…
2015
Using the unanticipated creation of a new agency in the French region of Lyon as a quasi-natural experiment, we question whether distance to local public employment agencies (LPEAs) is a new channel for spatial mismatch. Contrary to past evidence based on aggregated data and consistently with the spatial mismatch literature, we find no evidence of a worker/agency spatial mismatch, which pleads for a resizing of the French LPEA network. However, echoing with the literature on the institutional determinants of the local public employment agencies' efficiency, we do find detrimental institutional transitory effects.
Les motivations des administrateurs des coopératives : une question de gouvernance revisitée par les approches de la proximité
2016
National audience; Comprendre les motivations des acteurs de gouvernance peut contribuer à favoriser la réussite et la pérennité de l’entreprise. L’article s’intéresse aux motivations des administrateurs pour mieux appréhender ce qui les incite à exercer pleinement leur rôle et à s’impliquer pour contribuer à l’atteinte des objectifs de la société. L’étude porte sur un type spécifique d’organisation, les coopératives, dont l’engagement des membres est souvent cité comme particulièrement fort. Les approches de la proximité sont mobilisées pour analyser les quatre principales motivations identifiées chez les administrateurs des coopératives : l’envie d’accroître leurs compétences, celle de dé…
When is there more employment, with individual or collective wage bargaining?
2019
Abstract In a standard Diamond-Mortensen-Pissarides labour market with frictions, the authors seek to determine when there is more employment with individual wage bargaining than with collective wage bargaining, using a wage equation generated by the standard total surplus sharing rule. Using a Cobb-Douglas production function, they find that if the bargaining power of the individual is high compared to the bargaining power of the union, there is more unemployment with individual wage setting and vice versa. When the individual worker and the union have the same bargaining power, if the cost of opening a vacancy is sufficiently high, there is more unemployment with individual wage setting. …
Skill Biased Technical Change and Misallocation: A Unified Framework
2019
Due to strict reliance on competitive labor markets, standard approaches which measure skill biased technical change (SBTC) conflate labor market distortions which prevent firms from choosing the efficient ratio between skilled and unskilled labor and `true' SBTC. This contrasts with recent evidence on decoupling between wages and productivity. To overcome this limitation, we present a unified framework to estimate SBTC which accounts for factor accumulation (FA) effects, and quantifies the discrepancy (i.e., relative misallocation) between the wage ratio (skilled to unskilled) and the marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS). The suggested methodology takes advantage of recent develo…
