The role of trade unions in addressing increasing income inequality has been overlooked in empirical studies, despite its theoretical ambiguity. The baseline empirical model, estimated for 26 European countries from 2005 to 2018, specifies income inequality as a function of the trade union density rate, its squared value, and a set of control variables. Labour market institutions, other than unions, are incorporated into the model to assess the distributional effects of union density within the entire institutional framework.

The findings reveal that the wage differential between adequately matched and mismatched workers decreases substantially once the unobserved heterogeneity of the worker and the firm is considered. Workers' unobserved characteristics explain a large proportion of both the overeducated wage penalty and the undereducated wage premium. Additionally, variations in firms' pay policies contribute to the wage gap among mismatched workers. Finally, findings show that job mismatches have the greatest impact on early-career individuals' wages.</p>","PeriodicalId":47216,"journal":{"name":"International Labour Review","volume":"162 3","pages":"355-383"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50136201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
