Union-Firm Efficient Bargaining and Test of Oligopolistic Conduct

Abstract

This paper applies a production function approach to the analysis of imperfection in product and factor markets and develops a test of efficient bargaining for wage and employment determination. Based on a translog function defined at the firm level, estimates for the Belgian chemical industry are consistent with the existence of product market power that is significantly eroded by union wage rents.
