过去二十年里，德国的工会化程度大幅下降。我们利用德国社会经济小组的数据，通过张伯伦-蒙德拉克相关随机效应概率模型来估计社会经济和工作场所相关变量对工会会员资格的影响。根据估计值，我们预测了净工会密度 (NUD)，并分析了东德和西德之间的差异，以及 NUD 随时间的相应变化。非线性布林德-瓦哈卡型分解表明，劳动力构成的变化对西德和东德的去工会化趋势只起了很小的作用。在东西方比较中，劳动力特征的差异反映出德国统一后东德的会员匹配质量较低。
Unionization in Germany has declined considerably during the last two decades. We estimate the impact of socioeconomic and workplace-related variables on union membership by means of Chamberlain-Mundlak correlated random effects probit models, using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel. Drawing on the estimates, we project net union densities (NUD) and analyze the differences between East and West Germany, as well as the corresponding changes in NUD over time. Nonlinear Blinder-Oaxaca-type decompositions show that changes in the composition of the work force have only played a minor role for the deunionization trends in West and East Germany. In West-East comparison, differences in the characteristics of the work force reflect a lower quality of membership matches in East Germany right after German unification.
