Project Aim
This project studied how different bargaining regimes and union agreements affect wage growth and wage dispersion.
Project Approach
The project surveyed the existing literature on bargaining regimes and the relationship to wage growth and wage dispersion. Furthermore, we described the development of bargaining regimes and union treaties and the changes in the distribution of union wage premium centrally and locally in Norway, as well as describe empirically the wage growth and wage dispersion in Norway.
Finally, the project provided a quantitative analysis of how the different bargaining regimes and union agreements and the associated premiums contributes to wage growth and wage dispersion, within and between workplaces and for different worker groups.
