Abstract

Whilst their products are substituable for the consumer, there exist technological asymmetries across the unionized sectors of an economy. There are high-tech as well as low-tech sectors. We show, that, due to those asymmetries in productivity, inter-sectoral minimum wage agreements may endogenously emerge, always being the medianvoter's most preferred outcome.
