Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though these countries vary significantly in both their federal institutions and labour market policies, they all seek to define a relatively coherent approach for federal and sub-unit governments in a policy field where collaboration and coordination appear unavoidable. In some cases, such as Germany, collaboration is highly developed and policies are ambitious and integrated; in others, such as Switzerland, diversity and decentralization are privileged and policies remain fragmented. Finally, there are countries such as the United States that do not grant much importance to labour market policies. these five federations and so help us understand how political institutions and public policies are inter-related. Federalism and labour market policies certainly influence each other, but there is no simple relationship between them. Comparing different governance and employment strategies is nevertheless very instructive because it shows the range of approaches and policies that are possible in federal countries.

Download or read book Putting Federalism in Its Place written by Scott L. Greer and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2023-01-17 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does federalism do to welfare states? This question arises in scholarly debates about policy design as well as in discussions about the right political institutions for a country. It has frustrated many, with federalism seeming to matter in all sorts of combinations with all sorts of issues, from nationalism to racism to intergovernmental competition. The diffuse federalism literature has not come to compelling answers for very basic questions. Scott L. Greer, Daniel Béland, André Lecours, and Kenneth A. Dubin argue for a new approach—one methodologically focused on configurations of variables within cases rather than a fruitless attempt to isolate “the” effect of federalism; and one that is substantively engaged with identifying key elements in configurations as well as with when and how their interactions matter. Born out of their work on a multi-year, eleven-country project (published as Federalism and Social Policy: Patterns of Redistribution in Eleven Countries, University of Michigan Press, 2019), this book comprises a methodological and substantive agenda. Methodologically, the authors shift to studies that embraced and understood the complexity within which federal political institutions operate. Substantively, they make an argument for the importance of plurinationalism, changing economic interests, and institutional legacies.

Book excerpt: The reforms of the 1990s thus confirmed the necessity of thinking adjustment and change in the context of existing institutional arrangements. [...] Another objective, Introduction: Varieties of Capitalism, Varieties of Federalism 3 the other side of the coin so to speak, is to consider federalism in light of labour market policies and, more broadly, of varieties of capitalism, a perspec- tive seldom used in the comparative study of federations. [...] Between 1985 and 1998, the average unemployment rate was 11.3 percent in Belgium, 9.5 percent in Canada, and 8.5 percent in Germany, compared to 6 percent in the United States and 2.5 percent in Switzerland.17 Understandably, the lack of jobs was a more critical political issue in the first three than in the last two. [...] Over the years, the federal government has prevailed on most social policy questions, because the Basic Law allowed it to legislate in areas of concurrent jurisdiction, whenever it was necessary "to establish and maintain the legal and economic union of Germany, as well as to promote and safeguard the equal- ity of living standards throughout the country." The Länder have maintained a role because [...] While federal legislation and funding define the orientations and the scope of labour market policy, the admin- istration of labour market policy is largely left to the Bundesanstalt für Arbeit (BAA, Federal Employment Office), an autonomous tripartite administration gov- erned jointly by representatives of the trade unions, of business associations, and of the states.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most labor economics textbooks pay little attention to actual labor markets, taking as reference a perfectly competitive market in which losing a job is not a big deal. The Economics of Imperfect Labor Markets is the only textbook to focus on imperfect labor markets and to provide a systematic framework for analyzing how labor market institutions operate. This expanded, updated, and thoroughly revised second edition includes a new chapter on labor-market discrimination; quantitative examples; data and programming files enabling users to replicate key results of the literature; exercises at the end of each chapter; and expanded technical appendixes. The Economics of Imperfect Labor Markets examines the many institutions that affect the behavior of workers and employers in imperfect labor markets. These include minimum wages, employment protection legislation, unemployment benefits, active labor market policies, working-time regulations, family policies, equal opportunity legislation, collective bargaining, early retirement programs, education and migration policies, payroll taxes, and employment-conditional incentives. Written for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students, the book carefully defines and measures these institutions to accurately characterize their effects, and discusses how these institutions are today being changed by political and economic forces.
