Labor market institutions and productivity growth: A six-country comparison

This study investigates problems of productivity growth with special emphasis on institutions in the labor market. Two major classes of labor market institutions are analyzed: corporatism and liberal-pluralism. To examine why productivity growth rates differ among national economies, this thesis undertakes an international comparison of diverse growth experiences in three Western and three Asian countries over a relatively long period, 1960-1990. These countries are: the former West Germany, Sweden, the United States, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.
