Temporary Social Dumping, Union Legalisation and FDI: a Note on the Strategic Use of Standards

Abstract: This paper analyses the welfare implication for a developing country of using union legalisation as a policy instrument to attract inwards foreign direct investment. While its presence may discourage a foreign multinational (MNE) from locating in the host country, unionisation is an important rent-extracting instrument for the host country.
