Bestimmungsgründe von Gewerkschaftsmitgliedschaft und Organisationsgrad | Eine ökonometrische Analyse auf Mikrodatenbasis für die Bundesrepublik Deutschland

This study presents econometric estimations of union-membership functions based on a large set of micro data for the Federal Republic of Germany.

Based on the results of the estimations we "forecast" the union density in 29 manufacturing industries
