Union joining: an empirical test of the social custom model

Applied Economics Letters, 1995, vol. 2, issue 8, 245-247

Abstract: A recent theoretical literature explores why individuals join unions which provide only public goods. This paper finds supportive empirical evidence for one such theory. However, the continued significance of certain personal characteristics in the unionization decision suggests that unions also provide attractive, privately appropriable services to their members.
