Test of alternative strike settlement models

Journal of Applied Statistics, 1998, vol. 25, issue 4, 463-474

Abstract: This paper extends our understanding of what determines the length of strikes, by comparing two alternative models of the strike settlement process, while simultaneously allowing for variation in this process as a result of economic conditions and unobserved heterogeneity. Some inconclusive support is found for the view that settlement proceeds by one or both sides presenting terms for acceptance or rejection, rather than by both sides yielding ground toward an intermediate position. Strike duration is found to be shortest at peaks of business cycles, and settlement is not duration dependent.
