Description
Summary:This volume considers the development of the wage formation and wage bargaining institutions as a response to changes in the bargaining environment. These changes include a lower level of inflation and the growth in intraindustrial trade as firms have become more specialised.

Some of the contributions pay special attention to Nordic regimes using survey results gathered from the Finnish labour market partners
