How do firm-level collective agreements affect firm performance in a multi-level bargaining system? Using detailed Belgian linked employer-employee panel data, our findings show that firm agreements increase both wage costs and productivity (with respect to sector-level agreements). Relying on a recent approach developed by Bartolucci (2014), they also indicate that firm agreements exert a stronger impact on wages than on productivity, so that profitability is hampered. However, this rent-sharing effect only holds in manufacturing. In private sector services, the raw wage premium associated to firm agreements is entirely driven by compositional effects. Furthermore, estimates show that firm agreements lead to significantly more rent-sharing among firms operating in less competitive environments. Firm agreements are thus mainly found to raise wages beyond productivity when the rents to be shared between workers and firms are relatively big. Overall, this suggests that firm-level agreements benefit to both employers and employees – through higher productivity and wages – without being very detrimental to firms' performance.

企业级集体协议的生产力和工资效应:来自比利时关联面板数据的证据

在多层次的谈判体系中,企业层面的集体协议如何影响企业绩效?使用详细的比利时相关雇主-雇员面板数据,我们的研究结果表明,公司协议会增加工资成本和生产力(就行业层面的协议而言)。依靠 Bartolucci (2014) 最近开发的方法,他们还表明,公司协议对工资的影响比对生产力的影响更大,因此盈利能力受到阻碍。然而,这种租金共享效应只适用于制造业。在私营部门服务中,与公司协议相关的原始工资溢价完全由组合效应驱动。此外,估计表明公司协议导致在竞争较弱的环境中运营的公司之间的租金共享显着增加。因此,当工人和企业之间要分摊的租金相对较大时,企业协议主要是将工资提高到生产力之外。总体而言,这表明公司层面的协议对雇主和雇员双方都有利——通过提高生产力和工资——而不会对公司的业绩造成很大的损害。
