"This paper examines how unionization structures that differ in the degree of wage centralization affect firms' incentives to increase labor productivity. We distinguish three modes of unionization with increasing degree of centralization: 1. 'decentralization' where wages are determined independently at the firm-level; 2. 'coordination' where an industry union sets individual wages for all firms at the firmlevel; 3. 'centralization' where a uniform wage rate is set for the entire industry. We show that firms' investment incentives are largest under complete centralization. However, investment incentives are non-monotone in the degree of centralization so that 'decentralization' carries higher investment incentives than coordination'. Depen...
