• Negotiating the Gender Divide (2012, background): “An international decline in union membership has reduced the ability of collective bargaining to impose standardized wages and employment terms on large groups of employees (Farber & Western, 2001).”
• Reconsidering union wage effects: Surveying new evidence on an old topic (2004, methodology): “Based on Card's analysis, Farber and Western (2002), for example, assume a symmetric misclassification rate of 2.7 percent in order to calculate a "corrected" union density series for the United States.”
• Union membership and density: Some (not so) stylized facts and challenges (2013, background): “In contrast, dummy variables for levels of education are found to be insignificant in the majority of countries by Schnabel and Wagner (2007) when using the same dataset but analysing countries separately. What most studies tend to overlook, however, is the distinction between the private and public”
• The Employment Relationship and Inequality: How and Why Changes in Employment Practices are Reshaping Rewards in Organizations (2013, background): “Unions have largely failed to surmount this hurdle since the 1950s (Farber & Western, 2001), but the early 1980s witnessed a major collapse in the level of union organization (Farber & Western, 2002; Tope & Jacobs, 2009).”
