Abstract

The previous chapter investigated the effect of trade unions on wages as a preliminary analysis by applying a simple equation model. We provided a tentative conclusion that there was no significant union/non-union wage differential for men, while there was a small positive effect of unions on wage premiums for women. This tentative conclusion was obtained under the assumption that there was neither a simultaneous equation problem nor a sample selection problem. It will be useful to examine whether or not such problems would be serious statistically. This chapter attempts to test these problems because possible biases caused by them may change the previous chapter’s preliminary conclusion.
