| Sumario: | The writer presents longitudinal estimates of covered union member and covered nonmember wage differentials in Britain. Using cross sectional estimates, he contends that covered union members receive a premium of about 10 percent over other workers but covered nonmembers have no noticeable wage differential. He notes that OLS estimates are downwardly biased, and he asserts that the true union wage differential is likely to be approximately 30-35 percent. He alleges that a large negative selection effect applies to union membership. |
