We address the effects of FDI on the labor share in developing countries. Our theory relies
on the impacts of FDI on wage and labor productivity in a frictional labor market. FDI has two …

We examine how a downstream merger affects input prices and, in turn, the profitability of a
such a merger under Cournot competition with differentiated products. Input suppliers can …

We analyze how the presence of trade unions affects the pattern of mergers in an
international oligopoly and the welfare implications thereof. We find that wages for the …

We set up a general equilibrium model with heterogeneous firms to study the interaction
between wage bargaining and foreign direct investment. Thereby, we highlight the …

This paper sets up a multi-sector general oligopolistic equilibrium trade model in which all
firms face wage claims of firm-level unions. By accounting for productivity differences across …

Should civil servants (employees in the public sector) be allowed to bargain collectively? To
answer this question, we construct a model of unionized mixed duopoly and examine the …

We analyze unionized firms' incentives to outsource intermediate goods production to
foreign (low-cost) subcontractors. Such outsourcing leads to increased wages for the …

We develop a two-country, multi-sector model of oligopoly in which unionised and non-
unionised sectors interact in general equilibrium. The model is used to study the impact of …

This article analyses tax competition between a unionised and a non‐unionised country for
the location of an outside firm. We show that unionisation increases the incentive for the …

This paper develops a two‐country, general equilibrium model of oligopoly in which the
degree of horizontal product differentiation is endogenously determined by firms' strategic …
