摘要 | A growing body of work–both theoretical and empirical–has emphasized that unionization may be better understood as a tax on capital rather than a tax on labor. Under this “new” view, unionization unambiguously lowers investment. Using data on union certification elections, we estimate the impact of unionization on firms’ investment behavior. Employing both a standard q-model and an “investment surprises” technique, we find that union certification significantly reduces investment. We find that a winning certification election has, on average, about the same effect on investment as would a 30 percentage point increase in the corporate tax.
