The backdrop to this inquiry into the relationship between worker job satisfaction and workplace representation in European nations is twofold. The first is that the bulk of research has focused on union membership and job satisfaction in Anglophone nations with their very different industrial relations systems and bargaining arrangements. The second and more immediate context is the dramatic shift from negative to positive in the association between union membership and job satisfaction (inter al.) observed in the most recent literature. Using data on 28 European nations from the last two waves of the European Working Conditions Survey, however, we report that workers in establishments with formal workplace representation record lower job satisfaction than their counterparts in plants without such representation. These findings of conditional correlation are then upgraded by constructing a pseudo‐panel with cohort fixed effects to take account of unobserved worker heterogeneity. First‐difference estimates suggest that the negative relationship between worker representation and job satisfaction found in cross section continues to hold. Next, an endogenous treatment effects model is deployed to address the possible endogeneity of worker representation. The results are supportive of a causal negative relationship between job satisfaction and worker representation. One interpretation of our findings is that in the matter of the association between unions and job satisfaction the jury is still out.
对欧洲国家工人工作满意度与工作场所代表性之间关系的研究有两个背景。首先,大部分研究都集中于英语国家的工会会员资格和工作满意度,这些国家的劳资关系体系和谈判安排大相径庭。第二点也是更直接的背景是,在最新的文献中,工会会员资格与工作满意度之间的关系由负向正发生了巨大转变(inter al.)然而,我们利用最近两波欧洲工作条件调查(European Working Conditions Survey)中有关 28 个欧洲国家的数据,报告了在有正式工作场所代表的企业中,工人的工作满意度低于在没有正式工作场所代表的工厂中的工人。随后,我们通过构建一个具有同组固定效应的伪面板来考虑未观察到的工人异质性,从而提升了这些条件相关性的结论。一阶差分估计结果表明,横截面研究中发现的工人代表与工作满意度之间的负相关关系依然存在。接下来,我们采用内生处理效应模型来解决工人代表权可能存在的内生性问题。结果支持工作满意度与工人代表之间存在因果负相关关系。对我们研究结果的一种解释是,工会与工作满意度之间的关系还没有定论。

Equilibrium vertical structure with a common supplier 有共同供应商的均衡垂直结构
Pub Date : 2024-09-02 DOI: 10.1111/manc.12498
Kangsik Choi, Sangheon Han, DongJoon Lee
We consider a vertically related market, in which each downstream firm produces a differentiated product by assembling a key input produced by a common supplier and another input produced by a dedicated upstream firm. On the one hand, vertical integration has the advantage of inducing the common supplier to set a lower input price, but the disadvantage of reducing downstream firms' competitiveness in the downstream market. On the other hand, vertical separation has the advantage of increasing downstream firms' competitiveness in the downstream market but the disadvantage of inducing the common supplier to set a higher input price. Contrary to results of previous studies, we find that the existence of a common supplier can lead to vertical integration under Cournot competition, which emerges as a unique equilibrium when a common supplier adopts input discrimination. Although vertical integration is better for the individual firms, it reduces the total welfare. Even when the common supplier uses uniform input pricing, vertical integration also emerges in equilibrium.
我们考虑了一个纵向关联市场,在这个市场中,每家下游企业都通过组装由共同供应商生产的一种关键投入品和由专门的上游企业生产的另一种投入品来生产差异化产品。一方面,纵向一体化的优点是促使共同供应商制定较低的投入品价格,但缺点是削弱了下游企业在下游市场的竞争力。另一方面,纵向分离的优点是提高下游企业在下游市场的竞争力,缺点是诱使共同供应商制定更高的投入价格。与以往的研究结果相反,我们发现共同供应商的存在会导致库诺竞争下的纵向一体化,而当共同供应商采取投入歧视时,纵向一体化会成为一种独特的均衡。虽然纵向一体化对单个企业更有利,但却降低了总福利。即使共同供应商采用统一的投入定价,纵向一体化也会出现均衡。

Institutional factors influencing productivity in medieval England: A case study of tin, lead and silver mining 影响中世纪英格兰生产力的制度因素:锡、铅和银矿开采案例研究
Pub Date : 2024-02-08 DOI: 10.1111/manc.12472

This paper fills a gap in recent literature on productivity and regional development by examining the determinants of productivity in primary industries in English regions during the Middle Ages. It provides a comprehensive review of relevant literature on the tin, lead and silver mining industries in Medieval England. Modern studies of productivity typically focus on technology, labour skills, unionization and regional economic infrastructure as key determinants of productivity growth and focus on high‐technology manufacturing industries This study of medieval mining, however, focuses on extractive industries in which advanced technologies played only a limited role. The paper shows that alternative factors contributed to the productivity of medieval mining including royal policy, the location of deposits and fluctuations in demand. Technology, investment in training and worker activism had, in contrast, little impact.
本文通过研究中世纪英格兰地区第一产业生产力的决定因素,填补了近期有关生产力和地区发展的文献空白。本文全面回顾了中世纪英格兰锡、铅和银矿开采业的相关文献。现代生产力研究通常将技术、劳动技能、工会化和地区经济基础设施作为生产力增长的关键决定因素,并侧重于高科技制造业。本文表明,其他因素也促进了中世纪采矿业的生产力,包括皇家政策、矿藏位置和需求波动。相比之下,技术、培训投资和工人积极性影响甚微。

Bertrand‐Cournot profit reversal under non‐commitment process innovation 非承诺流程创新下的伯特兰-库诺利润逆转
Pub Date : 2024-02-07 DOI: 10.1111/manc.12471
Qidi Zhang, Leonard F. S. Wang, Arijit Mukherjee
We provide a new reason for Bertrand‐Cournot profit reversal. In a symmetric oligopoly, we show that firms get higher profits under Bertrand competition compared to Cournot competition under non‐commitment process innovation if the products are sufficiently differentiated and there is positive knowledge spillover. As the number of firms increases, the degree of product differentiation over which the profits are higher under Bertrand competition can increase. Higher outputs under Bertrand competition compared to Cournot competition generate higher R&D investments under the former than the latter, which is responsible for our result.
我们提供了贝特朗-库诺利润逆转的新理由。我们的研究表明,在对称寡头垄断中,如果产品具有足够的差异化,并且存在正知识溢出,那么在非承诺过程创新下,企业在伯特兰竞争中获得的利润要高于库诺竞争。随着企业数量的增加,伯特兰竞争下利润较高的产品差异化程度也会增加。与库诺竞争相比,贝特朗竞争下的高产出会导致前者的研发投资高于后者,这也是我们得出这一结果的原因。
