Industry differences in the neoliberal transformation of Australian industrial relations

INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS JOURNAL, Issue 5 2009
Mark Bray
ABSTRACT This article argues that our theoretical understanding of neoliberalism and empirical understanding of the transformation of industrial relations in Australia since the early 1990s can be improved by disaggregating analysis from national to industry level, and by focusing on the dual neoliberal objectives of decollectivisation and individualisation.

U.S. High-Performance Work Practices at Century's End

INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS, Issue 4 2006
JOSEPH R. BLASI
This study examines the incidence, industry differences, and economic environment of work practices in the United States in 1994 and 1997 using census data from a nationally representative random sample of establishments. Self-managed work teams were used by a majority of workers in some sites. Work-related meetings had higher incidence. A high-performance work organization is used in about 1 percent of establishments. There were significant industry differences associated with globalization, namely, imports and exports. [source]

MICRO EMPIRICAL RESULTS OF A KALECKIAN-TYPE CAPITAL ACCUMULATION MODEL COMPARED WITH MACRO RESULTS FOR SOME EUROPEAN ECONOMIES

METROECONOMICA, Issue 2 2008
James P. Gander
ABSTRACT A micro economic model of the rate of capital accumulation that corresponds to a macro Kaleckian-type post-Keynesian investment function is hypothesized. Firm-level accounting data on industrial and commercial firms over the time period 1994,2000 for three European economies and the USA are used to test the consistency of the micro model with the macro model of Hein and Ochsen (2003, Metroeconomica, 54, pp. 404,33). The micro empirical results were very consistent with the macro results, suggesting a strong micro foundation to the macro investment function. In addition country differences and industry differences were included in the analysis. [source]
