In her recent survey, Carola Frege concludes that economic analysis of the works council has reached a ‘dead end’. The present paper offers a very different assessment. The evolving economic literature is shown to follow three distinct phases, the last of which contains some of the most positive evaluations to date of works council impact on establishment performance. Although these estimates are exaggerated, and the effects of works councils are likely to be small on average, the new literature redirects our research focus towards factors producing swings around this average, including differences in works council types and their workplace environments.

- Training and Innovation (2009, background): “Our idea is to analyze the effect of training within the framework of the literature on competition and innovation by arguing that innovation is the weapon to fight competition whereas training is the ammunition (see Aghion et al. 2005).”
