Using administrative register data on full-time private-sector workers in the period 2000–2014, we find that increases in union density reduce wage differences between women and men within establishments.

Using comprehensive datasets of procurement winners and losers, we find that the probability of local firms winning contracts is 1.44 times that of nonlocal firms. Furthermore, investing in local subsidiaries appears to provide a significant advantage in procurement competitions. Nonlocal firms with investments one to three years prior to bidding are 1.5 times more likely to win contracts than those without such investments. LBJ-driven investments flow from developed to less developed regions, promoting interregional capital mobility.
