| Sumario: | Part of a special section exploring Richard Freeman and James Medoff's 1984 work, What Do Labor Unions Do?, and how their pioneering analysis of the effects of unions on a broad range of economic and social processes and outcomes bears up in light of subsequent research and experience. The writers examine the various claims made by Freeman and Medoff regarding how unions influence wages and update these claims with new and improved data. They present the findings of their own analysis and consider whether Freeman and Medoff would have been surprised about these findings when they wrote their book 20 years ago. |
