Trade Exposure and the Decline in Collective Bargaining: Evidence From Germany
Industrial Relations: A Journal of Economy and Society, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We analyze how rising trade exposure from China and Eastern Europe affected collective bargaining coverage in German plants from 1996 to 2008. Using cross‐industry variation in trade exposure and instrumenting with trade flows from other high‐income countries, we find that higher import exposure increased the likelihood that plants exited ...
