Professor Culp has aptly warned us that in our discussion of employment discrimination we should not lose sight of the need to address the spectrum of policies affecting the status of African-Americans. Without serious efforts in all aspects of American life (e.g., housing, education, health care, political and economic empowerment) our chances of significantly improving the future for African-American men are slim.
Wage Bargaining With Time-Varying Threats, Peter Cramton, Joseph Tracy
Wage Bargaining With Time-Varying Threats, Peter Cramton, Joseph Tracy
Peter Cramton
We study wage bargaining in which the union is uncertain about the firm's willingness to pay and threat payoffs vary over time. Strike payoffs change over time as replacement workers are hired, as strikers find temporary jobs, and as inventories or strike funds run out. We find that bargaining outcomes are substantially altered if threat payoffs vary. If dispute costs increase in the long-run, then dispute durations are longer, settlement rates are lower, and wages decline more slowly during the short-run (and may even increase). The settlement wage is largely determined from the long-run threat, rather than the short-run threat.
The Determinants Of U.S. Labor Disputes, Peter Cramton, Joseph Tracy
The Determinants Of U.S. Labor Disputes, Peter Cramton, Joseph Tracy
Peter Cramton
We present a bargaining model of union contract negotiations, in which the union decides between two threats: the union can strike or continue to work under the expired contract. The model makes predictions about the level of dispute activity and the form the disputes take. Strike incidence increases as the strike threat becomes more attractive, because of low unemployment or a real wage drop during the prior contract. We test these predictions by estimating logistic models of dispute incidence and dispute composition for U.S. labor contract negotiations from 1970 to 1989. We find empirical support for the model's key predictions, …
Determinants Of Southern Nevada In-Migration: Similarities And Differences Between Labor Force And Elderly Migrants, Chittima Bejrananda
Determinants Of Southern Nevada In-Migration: Similarities And Differences Between Labor Force And Elderly Migrants, Chittima Bejrananda
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
Studies concerned with Southern Nevada in-migration flows have previously based their conclusions upon limited data and assumptions; further, they have stressed the importance of economic conditions in the states of origin as the primary cause of migration. This study, however, presents a more complete migration model of Clark County's in-migrants--one which differs from previous migration studies. First, the model uses the Ordinary Least Squares technique and the pooled cross-sectional (50 origin states) time-series (1986-92) data approach to analyze determinants of migration decisions for two specific groups of migrants. Migrants aged 19 to 60 years (the labor force), and migrants aged …

The proposed North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)1 between Canada, the United States of America and Mexico is a logical and perhaps inevitable extensions of the 1989 Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between Canada and the U.S.A. Both agreements are controversial and massive public opposition to them exists in all three countries2 for good reasons, as we shall see. The citizens of these three democracies have never been provided with a credible explanation of the need for agreement.
Comparative Analysis Of Labor Mediation Using A Bargaining Strength Model, Alvin L. Goldman
Comparative Analysis Of Labor Mediation Using A Bargaining Strength Model, Alvin L. Goldman
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
The comparison of different legal systems offers a number of analytical and research advantages, one of which is that it provides a laboratory for observing differences and similarities in the ways in which common regulatory and dispute resolution models operate in similar and dissimilar environments. This Essay uses that laboratory to illustrate how the bargaining strength model presented in Settling for More: Mastering Negotiation Strategies and Techniques can be applied in analyzing mediatory interventions and provide a better understanding of (a) how such interventions can be utilized most effectively, (b) when they are useful, (c) when they are superfluous, and …
