本研究考察的八个国家--奥地利、比利时、丹麦、芬兰、德国、荷兰、挪威和瑞典--长期以来一直被视为“社团主义”劳资关系体系的典范，在这些体系中，工会覆盖率高，工会有影响力，通常与政党有密切联系，集体谈判制度化，相对集中。许多观察家最近认为，这种社团主义的谈判机构到处都在受到全球经济变化的破坏。作者使用了来自各种主要和次要来源的数据，测试了私营部门工资设定模式的变化是否与这一说法一致。尽管他们发现了社团主义的工资设定机构正在衰落的一些迹象，但他们也发现了这些机构弹性的抵消迹象。总体而言，证据并不表明这八个国家私营部门的工资制定正在经历一个普遍的权力下放过程。
The eight countries examined in this study—Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden—have long been viewed as exemplifying “corporatist” industrial relations systems, in which union coverage is high, unions are influential and commonly have strong ties to political parties, and collective bargaining is institutionalized and relatively centralized. Many observers have recently argued that such corporatist bargaining institutions are everywhere being undermined by changes in the global economy. The authors, using data from a wide variety of primary and secondary sources, test whether changes in patterns of wage-setting in the private sector are consistent with that claim. Although they find some signs that corporatist wage-setting institutions are in decline, they also find offsetting signs of the resiliency of such institutions. Overall, the evidence does not indicate that wage-setting in the private sector is undergoing a general process of decentralization in these eight countries.
