The Economics of Trade Unions

The Economics of Trade Unions offers the first comprehensive review, analysis and evaluation of the empirical literature on the microeconomic effects of trade unions. The book applies the tools of meta-regression analysis to identify and quantify the economic impact of trade unions, as well as to correct research design faults, the effects of sample selection and model misspecification. Written by three authors who have been at the forefront of this research field, this book offers an overview of a subject that is of huge importance to scholars of labour economics.
