Corporative cartels and challenges to European labour market models

Nils Karlson and Henrik Lindberg

No 193, Ratio Working Papers from The Ratio Institute

Abstract: Abstract We propose that one of the main causes of shortcomings in European labour markets is the existence of corporative cartels, through which the state has delegated various forms of regulatory power to employers and employees that act as cartels. Analysis indicates that these cartel arrangements are not in the interest of labour because they are hard to combine with the demands of a modern and knowledge-based economy. Hence, a modernization of European labour market models is needed.
