Economics Letters, 2015, vol. 133, issue C, 7-9

Abstract: This paper considers whether there is state dependence in strike incidence using longitudinal contract data from Canada. I obtain my estimates using Heckman’s estimator for dynamic probit models and find that there is no state dependence in strike incidence.
