Implicit contracts and industrial relations

Abstract

"I test the evidence for implicit contracts across different regimes of industrial relations in Germany. The result is that there is strong evidence for implicit contracts. Comparing regimes of industrial relations, I find stronger support for implicit contracts in firms with individual bargaining and when a works council exists." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
