Abstract

This paper presents a multi-sector general oligopolistic equilibrium trade model in which unionized and nonunionized sectors interact. We investigate how a country fs labor union structure affects firm fs relocation. Firstly, we analyze the case of international trade between unionized country and non-unionized country. As a result, non-unionized country should lower the unemployment benefit to attract firms. Secondly, we analyze the case of international trade between partial unionized country and non-unionized country. When the proportion of unionized sector is low, welfares of countries are equal, otherwise, unionized country fs welfare is lower than non-unionized. Comparing non relocation case, difference of welfare is larger.
