Abstract: | This study examines the effect of unions on labor’s share of income. Because economic conditions within each industry are
important in addressing this issue, this analysis incorporates a more disaggregated approach than has been previously used.
Cross-sectional data for the 1950s — a period of more stable unionization — permit an examination of the long-run effect of
wage increases on labor’s share. The empirical analysis suggests that higher labor prices have no long-run impact on labor’s
share in manufacturing. |
