摘要

本文在一个国际贸易和内生生产力增长的两国模型中，研究了工会化如何通过对产业集中度的影响来影响经济增长。当产业相对集中于劳动力供给较多的国家时，知识溢出效应会将企业层面的创新生产力与产业的地理格局联系起来，从而确保更快的产出增长率。我们的研究表明，当工会以就业为导向时，相对大国较强的谈判能力会提高产出增长率，而当工会以工资为导向时，则会降低产出增长率。然后，我们利用英国和法国的劳动力市场数据对模型进行了校准，并研究了工会议价能力对产业选址模式、产出增长和国民福利的影响。

Unionization, industry concentration, and economic growth

This paper examines how unionization affects economic growth through its impact on industry concentration in a two-country model of international trade and endogenous productivity growth. Knowledge spillovers link firm-level productivity in innovation with geographic patterns of industry ensuring a faster rate of output growth when industry is relatively concentrated in the country with the greater labor supply. We show that stronger bargaining power in the relatively large country increases the rate of output growth when labor unions are employment-oriented but decreases the rate of growth when unions are wage-oriented. We then calibrate the model using labor market data for the United Kingdom and France and study the effects of union bargaining power on industry location patterns, output growth, and national welfare.
