Vereinsrecht sticht Tarifautonomie - so könnte man die Rechtsprechung zur OT-Mitgliedschaft im Arbeitgeberverband auf den Punkt bringen. Denn diese akzeptiert es, dass die Tarifbindung als Folge der Mitgliedschaft im Arbeitgeberverband durch dessen Satzung abbedungen wird. Seitdem das BAG im...

This paper investigates the timing of labour strikes in Hollywood. The occurrence of strikes, such as the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes in 2023, can make sense when we have the hindsight to piece together the historical details of what created rifts between labour and management. But why do strikes...

This paper explains brinkmanship with infinitely repeated veto bargaining games, where players have private information. In the basic model, the paper solves for two types of Perfect Bayesian Equilibria. First, in Risk-Taking Equilibria (RTE), the proposer is more risk-seeking and engages in...

Some observers of the data economy have proposed that we treat data as labor. But are data contributions labor? Our folk conception of work emphasizes its importance and effort, such that work has a special interpersonal priority and deserves appreciation and compensation. The folk conception...

US drone strikes are popular with the electorate and overseen by the President. This pa- per investigates whether the US President uses drone strikes strategically for political gain. We document that US drone strikes in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, and Yemen are sig- nificantly more likely...

We study the impact of a teacher strike on students still in compulsory school and about to choose their secondary education track. Using administrative data and a difference-in-differences approach, we estimate the effect of a regional strike in Finland on educational attainment and long-term...

Marine mammals and other marine megafauna are subject to a variety of impacts related with human activities. Among those, the collisions with vessels (generally known as ship strikes, or vessel strikes) are a significant source of death and severe injuries for large cetacean species, such as fin...

Purpose: This paper aimed to analyse the impact of labour strikes and industry variation on the level of employee-related disclosures (ERD). It argued that the levels of ERD disclosed by companies in the chemical, manufacturing, forestry, mining, construction, and transport industries differ in...

This article analyzes the influence of hurricane strikes on the returns of sovereign bonds issued by Cuba, the Dominican Republic and Haiti between 1905 and 1930. The study uses a fixed effects regression model to isolate the impact of hurricane-induced destruction on bond returns, providing a...

We characterize optimal monetary policy under state-dependent pricing. The framework gives rise to nonlinear inflation dynamics: The flexibility of the price level increases after large shocks due to an endogenous rise in the frequency of price changes. In response to large cost-push shocks,...

I estimate management opposition to unions in terms of hiring discrimination in the German labor market. By sending 13,000 fictitious job applications, revealing union membership in the CV and pro-union sentiment via social media accounts, I provide evidence for hiring discrimination against...

1989/90 drängten demokratische Initiativen aus der Belegschaft die Gewerkschaftsorganisation in vielen DDR-Betrieben zu Reformen. Daran anschließend war der Aufbau von Gewerkschaften und betrieblichen Mitbestimmungsstrukturen nach westdeutschem Vorbild Teil der umfassenden Transformation...

Spätestens seit den wochenlangen Streiks von LKW-Fahrenden aus osteuropäischen und zentralasiatischen Ländern an der Raststätte in Gräfenhausen im Jahr 2023 ist klar, dass kriminelle Ausbeutung und Verstöße gegen Menschenrechte entlang der Lieferkette nicht nur in fernen Ländern...

This study, commissioned by the European Parliament's Policy Department for Citizens' Rights and Constitutional Affairs at the request of the AFCO Committee, assesses the status of political strikes in the EU. While workers' strikes generally seek to pressure an employer, "political strikes" are...

This paper sheds light on a neglected reason for women's underrepresentation in politics: crisis-induced gender gaps in incumbents' reelection with lasting negative effects on female representation. We use hand-collected data on 173,339 candidates in open-list local council elections (1997-2021)...

We study the Ramsey optimal monetary policy within the Golosov and Lucas (2007) state-dependent pricing framework. The model provides micro-foundations for a nonlinear Phillips curve: the sensitivity of inflation to activity increases after large shocks due to an endogenous rise in the frequency...

This paper evaluates the relative importance of natural and human factors in shaping public awareness of climate change. I compare the predictive efficacy of natural factors, represented by air temperature deviations from historical norms, and human factors, encompassing noteworthy political...

Im Jahr 2023 fanden in zwanzig näher untersuchten Branchen insgesamt 23 Tarifverhandlungen statt. Eine Analyse zeigt, dass es in vielen dieser Verhandlungen recht konfliktreich zuging. Die maximale Eskalationsstufe - sie gibt auf einer 7-stufigen Skala an, bis zu welcher Stufe ein Konflikt...
