Abstract

This paper uses unpublished New Earnings Survey data to examine the extent to which bargaining groups evaded the incomes policy which ran from April 1973 to April 1974. It finds considerable evidence to support an economic model of noncompliance. Breaches were significantly larger where supplementary bargaining occurred or where there was a large proportion of low-paid workers. Evidently, the policy was less stringently enforced toward the end of the period, but traditional packaging devices appeared to be of little importance to overall evasion.
