Medoff’s now classic 1984 book \u003ci\u003eWhat Do Unions Do? \u003c\/i\u003estimulated an enormous theoretical and empirical literature on the economic\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eimpact of trade unions. Trade unions continue to be a significant feature of many labor\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003emarkets, particularly in developing countries, and issues of labor market regulations\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eand labor institutions remain critically important to researchers and policy makers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe relations between unions and management can range between cooperation and conflict; unions have powerful offsetting wage and non-wage effects that economists and other social scientists have long debated. Do the benefits of unionism exceed the costs to the economy and society writ large, or do the costs exceed the benefits? \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eEconomics of Trade Unions \u003c\/i\u003eoffers the first comprehensive review, analysis and evaluation of the empirical literature on the microeconomic effects of trade unions using the tools of meta-regression analysis to identify and quantify the economic impact of trade unions, as well as to correct research design faults, the effects of selection bias and model misspecification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume makes use of a unique dataset of hundreds of empirical studies and their reported estimates of the microeconomic impact of trade unions.
