The authors use three distinct methods to investigate the influence of industrial relations on firm wage premia in Germany. First, ordinary least squares (OLS) regressions for the firm effects from a two-way fixed-effects decomposition of workers’ wages reveal that average premia are larger in firms bound by collective agreements and in firms with a works council, holding constant firm performance. Next, recentered influence function (RIF) regressions show that premia are less dispersed among covered firms but more dispersed among firms with a works council. Finally, in an Oaxaca–Blinder decomposition, the authors find that decreasing bargaining coverage is the only factor they consider that contributes to the marked rise in premia dispersion over time.

公司的工资溢价，劳资关系和租金分担

作者使用三种不同的方法来研究劳资关系对德国公司工资溢价的影响。首先，通过工人工资的双向固定效应分解得出的企业效应的普通最小二乘（OLS）回归显示，受集体协议约束的企业和具有工作委员会的企业中，拥有恒定企业绩效的平均溢价更大。接下来，最近的影响函数（RIF）回归显示，溢价在受覆盖的公司中较少分散，而在设有工作委员会的公司中较分散。最后，在瓦哈卡-布林德分解中，作者发现讨价还价覆盖率的下降是他们认为唯一导致溢价分布随时间显着上升的因素。
