How do value added taxes affect wages and labor?

Hundsdoerfer, Jochen; Löwe, Maren - 2026

We analyze how value added taxes (VATs) affect labor market outcomes (firms' employee costs, wages, hours worked, employment). While VATs are designed to tax consumption, they are levied at the firm level, which creates potential spillovers to labor markets. We hypothesize that VATs affect wages...

Papadopoulou, Aggela; Gouzoulis, Giorgos - 2026

This paper examines the evolution of trade union density in Greece between 1970 and 2020. While unionization grew substantially across most Western economies during the postwar reconstruction period, Greek organized labour largely missed this expansion due to the disruptions of the Greek Civil...

The impact of unions on non-union wage setting : threats and bargaining

Green, David A.; Sand, Benjamin; Snoddy, Iain; Tschopp, … - 2026

In this paper, we provide new estimates of the impact of unions on non-union wage setting. We allow the presence of unions to affect non-union wages both through the typically discussed channel of non-union firms emulating union wages in order to fend off the threat of unionisation and through a...

The rules of the game : local wage bargaining and the gender pay gap

Olsson, Maria; Nordström Skans, Oskar - 2025

To study how local bargaining institutions affect within-job gender wage gaps, we exploit the fact that most Swedish firms tend to have one collective agreement covering all their bluecollar workers. This implies that workers performing the same tasks in different firms are covered by different...
