摘要

项目劳动协议(pla)通常在加州城市地区的大型公共工程中发现。尽管如此，它们仍然是一种有争议的公共采购做法。文献中没有研究的一个问题是，是否像一些批评者所说的那样，解放军减少了公共项目投标人的数量。分析了2007年至2016年期间加州社区学院建设的263个开标项目，这项首次研究了PLA对投标数量的影响，发现控制了项目发生的地点、项目规模、商业周期和项目出租的季节，项目的投标人数量不会因PLA项目的存在或不存在而改变。本研究还发现，相对于其中99个项目的工程师估计，现行工资项目的最低出价并不高于没有解放军协议的项目的最低出价。

Do Project Labor Agreements Reduce the Number of Bidders on Public Projects? The Case of Community Colleges in California

Project labor agreements (PLAs) are commonly found on larger California public works in urban areas. Nonetheless, they remain a controversial public procurement practice. One issue not examined in the literature is whether as some critics suggest, PLAs reduce the number of bidders on public projects. Analyzing 263 bid openings for community college construction in California over the period 2007 to 2016, this first-ever study of PLA effects on the number of bids finds that controlling for the location where the project occurred, the size of projects, the business cycle and the season when the project was let, the number of bidders on a project was not altered by the presence or absence of project of PLAs. This study also finds that relative to engineer’s estimates available on 99 of these projects, the lowest bids on prevailing wage projects were not higher than the lowest bids on projects without PLA agreements.
