Collective Wage Co‐ordination and the Costs of Job Displacement

British Journal of Industrial Relations, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether a higher level of co‐ordination in collective wage bargaining affects the wage costs of job displacement. We use quasi‐exogenous variation in the timing of job loss due to mass layoffs spanning an institutional reform that introduced national ceilings to wage agreements negotiated at sectoral‐ and firm‐level—the
