We study the distribution of strike size, which we measure as lost-person-days, for a long period in several countries of Europe and America. When we consider the full samples, the mixtures of two or three lognormals arise as very convenient models. When restricting to the upper tails, the Pareto power law becomes almost indistinguishable of the truncated lognormal.

罢工规模的分布：19世纪和20世纪欧洲和北美的经验证据

我们长期研究了在欧美一些国家的罢工规模分布，我们将其衡量为失工日。当我们考虑全部样本时，两个或三个对数正态分布的混合是非常方便的模型。当限制在上尾部时，帕累托幂定律几乎与截断的对数正态几乎无法区分。
