Replication data for: Collective Labor Rights Dataset
No full textThis dataset contains several measures of collective labor rights; these measures capture the legal rights of workers to organize, associate freely, bargain collectively and strike, as well as the observation of these rights in practice. The dataset covers nearly all sovereign states, with annual data for the 1985-2002 period. The coding of these indicators is described in more detail in the accompanying codebook, and in Layna Mosley, Multinational Production and Labor Rights (Cambridge University Press, 2011)

A Race to the Bottom in Labour Standards? An Empirical Investigation
Get PDFAmong the many concerns over globalization is that as nations compete for mobile firms, they will relax labour standards as a method of lowering costs and attracting investment. Using spatial estimation on panel data for 148 developing countries over 18 years, we find that the labour standards in one country are positively correlated with the labour standards elsewhere (i.e. a cut in labour standards in other countries reduces labour standards in the country in question). This interdependence is more evident in labour practices (i.e. enforcement) than in labour laws. Further, competition is most fierce in those countries with already low standards.Labour Standards, Competition for FDI, Spatial Econometrics
Replication data for: Room to Move: International Financial Markets and National Welfare States
No full textA central research question in international and comparative political economy concerns the influence of international financial markets on government policy outcomes. To what extent does international capital mobility limit government policy choices? Does capital market openness render impossible the public provision of education and health care, income redistribution, and active labor market policies—all hallmarks of the contemporary welfare state?
I argue that the influence of international financial markets on the governments of advanced industrial democracies is somewhat strong, but also somewhat narrow. Capital market openness allows participants in financial markets to react dramatically to changes in government policy outcomes. Market participants, however, consider only a small set of government policies when deciding how to allocate their assets. Therefore, governments face pressures to adopt market-pleasing polic
ies in aggregate policy areas but retain ‘‘room to move’’ in many other policy areas. Despite financial internationalization, we will observe a significant amount of crossnational policy divergence among advanced industrial democracies.
I position my analysis within current international and comparative political economy debates and develop expectations regarding the influence of financial market pressures on government policies. I then assess these expectations by employing interviews with financial market participants. I further evaluate my hypotheses using a statistical analysis of the determinants of interest rates on government bonds. I briefly discuss governments’ responses to financial market influences
and conclude by offering suggestions for future research
