The effects of unions on labour productivity: a meta-analytic review
conference contribution
posted on 2002-01-01, 00:00 authored by Chris DoucouliagosChris Doucouliagos, P LarocheThe impact of unions on productivity has been an important area of debate in
industrial relations and economics. The theoretical and empirical literature has produced conflicting results. In this paper, meta-analysis is used to quantify the association between unions and productivity and reach a quantitative assessment of the empirical literature. The results suggest that the union-productivity association is not invariant, and is country, industry and time specific.
