“…This line of research has generally ignored the role of input markets on network formation, though a notable exception is Mauleon et al, as explained above. 3 Importantly, however, our results on the effects of labour market deregulation contrast sharply with those arising in Mauleon et al (2008), where the focus is on the distribution of bargaining power rather than, as here, changes in labour market structure.…”

We analyse how union structures that differ in the degree of wage-setting centralisation affect the pattern of R&D network formation. Within the context of a three-firm industry, a central union that sets a uniform wage is shown to induce a partial R&D network that includes two firms but excludes the third. In contrast, we find that, under less centralised union structures, firms have incentives to form R&D networks with a larger number of alliances. This result is consistent with the stylised facts for industrialised countries: recent decades have seen an upsurge in R&D alliances along with labour market deregulation towards more flexible wage-setting institutions.

Terms of use: Documents in AbstractThis paper establishes a link between the extent of collective bargaining and the degree of productivity dispersion within an industry. In a unionised oligopoly model we show that for only small differences in productivity levels. a sector-union can design a collective wage contract that covers a wide range of heterogeneous firms. In sectors with higher productivity dispersion, an industry union has an incentive to demand firm-level wage contracts with the most productive firms, so that they can prevent low-productivity firms from leaving collective coverage. However, such firm-level contracts may not prevent firms at the lower end of the productivity distribution from avoiding collective coverage in sectors with high productivity dispersion. We test the predictions of the model using German linked employer-employee data between 1996 and 2010 and find support for our theoretical results.

“…According to Bastos et al (2009) the company specific plans which decide the wages plays a major role in the industry wage platform. It is demonstrated that both the company's income platform and the normal compensation paid are explicitly connected with the level of firm heterogeneity in the business.…”

Abstract-The purpose of the review is to have a perception of Demand Pull (DP) strategies to extend essential capabilities in manufacturing industries and to analyze the experiences of the developed and developing economies. The study reveals that the encouraging DP strategies enhance the key skills in the framework of a company. Furthermore, it emphasizes that the DP strategies makes significant impacts on the sustainable development of a manufacturing industry. The significance of demand pull policies in manufacturing companies in less developed economies has not been much reported. A model can be developed by the achievement levels of industries, which will help in attaining core principles and priorities. The paper elaborates the linkages between technological capabilities and demand, so as to meet the customer's needs in time. It explores the compliance of products as per government regulations and how the companies manage the demand pull when the government stringently implements its policies. Various papers and relevant articles have been studied and reviewed from different journals and linked with criterion related to demand pull for sustainable development in manufacturing enterprises.
