Abstract:
Abstract: This paper documents an econometric investigation into the determinants of the rate of growth of trade union membership in the Irish economy. Empirical results obtained for the period 1943 to 1977 provide support for a number of the hypotheses of the Bain and Elsheikh (1976) model. In addition, the paper explores a number of further hypotheses, some of which relate to the particular institutional characteristics of the Irish labour market.
