Corporatism or competition
Cambridge Books, 1998Co-Authors: Coen Teulings, Joop HartogAbstract:The authors present important research showing that corporatist institutions generate smaller non-competitive wage differentials than a decentralized system. A theoretical explanation is developed based on the hold-up problem in investments, arguing that corporatist institutions solve the problem by specifying ex ante nominal contracts that remove the necessity of ex post bargaining over the surplus of an employment relationship. The authors also argue that such institutions allow sufficient flexibility to accommodate aggregate shocks, even more so than decentralized systems. Corporatism or Competition? is the first book to bring together the mass of research on comparative wage differences, wage movements and employment behaviour in different countries with different institutional frameworks, in an organized and coherent fashion.

a new theory of Corporatism and wage setting
European Economic Review, 1997Co-Authors: Coen TeulingsAbstract:The standard view on corporatist institutions for wage setting in many European economies is based of the insider-outsider model. Corporatism is associated with lack of wage flexibility. This paper discusses a new approach starting from the importance of nominal contracts. The rationale for these contracts is to avoid future bargaining. Adjusting these contracts ex post to aggregate shocks would raise their efficiency. However, avoiding the bargaining required for this adjustment was the main reason for negotiating these contracts in the first place. This is the fundamental contradiction. Under Corporatism, outside institutions can play this role. These institutions provide therefore a type of flexibility not available in decentralized economies. Empirical evidence supports the basic ideas of this model.

the long term development of organised business and its implications for Corporatism a cross national comparison of membership activities and governing capacities of business interest associations 1980 2003
European Journal of Political Research, 2010Co-Authors: Franz TraxlerAbstract:Internationalisation of markets and the demise of Keynesianism have made business more independent of associational action. Membership density and ‘corporatist’ involvement in wage bargaining and public policy have declined only modestly, while the capacity to govern members has dwindled significantly. This development is driven by the way in which large firms and the state relate to business associations. Large firms still have a vital interest not only in associational action, but also in integrating their smaller counterparts. Stated-based support for multi-employer bargaining, as established in most countries, buttresses business associations. By equipping the associations with an encompassing grip on the labour market, this support prompts governments to involve them in public policy. Since encompassing labour market regulation enables the associations to impose negative externalities on unaffiliated businesses, it provides them with a strong selective incentive for membership. The significant decline of the associations' governing capacity emanates from pressures of their large members to reduce costs of association. The implications of this development for interest intermediation are twofold. Given the strong decay of union power, the resilience of Corporatism strongly hinges on the continued strength of organised business and on its state-sponsored engagement in bargaining. At the same time, leeway for compromising has been restrained by the significant decline in the governing capacity of organised business. This decline echoes an ever-growing predominance of large firms in business associations, while economic internationalisation exacerbates interest conflicts between larger and smaller firms. To the extent that this configuration of interest and power weakens the ability of business associations to integrate the mass of small firms, it develops into the new Achilles heel of Corporatism.

the metamorphoses of Corporatism from classical to lean patterns
European Journal of Political Research, 2004Co-Authors: Franz TraxlerAbstract:. Given notable fluctuations in the relevance of corporatist practices over time, did profound transformations in the profile of Corporatism accompany these fluctuations? Based on data from twenty OECD countries, this article examines whether and how corporatist wage regulation changed its profile in structures, policies and performance from 1970 to 1996. The empirical evidence obtained from this analysis runs counter to the orthodox view of superior persistence and performance of classical (i.e., encompassing and centralized) structures of Corporatism. Non-classical (‘lean’) structures have gained in importance and performed no worse than their classical counterparts. The article concludes by discussing the implications of the findings for corporatist theory.

WAGE‐MODERATING EFFECTS OF Corporatism: DECENTRALIZED VERSUS CENTRALIZED WAGE SETTING IN A UNION, FIRM, GOVERNMENT CONTEXT
The Manchester School, 1993Co-Authors: Christian MulderAbstract:Corporatism is often claimed to exert a moderating influence on the real wage gap, the difference between the actual wage rate and the full employment wage rate. Corporatist countries should, therefore, show a lesser degree of unemployment. This paper explores and models one of the reasons why these results might be observed. An important reason for wage moderation could be the endogeneity of the wage tax rate for a centralized or encompassing trade union.
