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)

Labor rights and multinational production /
No full text"Labor Rights and Multinational Production investigates the relationship between workers' rights and multinational production. Mosley argues that some types of multinational production, embodied in directly owned foreign investment, positively affect labor rights. However, other types of international production, particularly subcontracting, can engender competitive races to the bottom in labor rights. To test these claims, Mosley presents newly generated measures of collective labor rights, covering a wide range of low- and middle-income nations for the 1985-2002 period. Labor Rights and Multinational Production suggests that the consequences of economic openness for developing countries are highly dependent on foreign firms' modes of entry and, more generally, on the precise way in which each developing country engages the global economy. The book contributes to academic literature in comparative and international political economy and to public policy debates regarding the effects of globalization."--Provided by publisher

A Race to the Bottom in Labour Standards? An Empirical Investigation
No full textAmong 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
Who Preaches Protectionism? Economic and Electoral Influences on Trade-Related Position Taking in the Senate
No full textExisting studies of Congressional behavior devote little attention to understanding legislators' trade-related position taking outside the context of roll call votes. Using a new dataset on bill sponsorship that spans fifteen congresses, the author explores the factors that affect a senator's propensity to introduce protectionist trade bills, including state-level manufacturing characteristics, economic cycles and electoral vulnerability. The results provide support for a number of the prominent economic-based explanations for trade policy preferences, including the Heckscher-Ohlin and Ricardo-Viner models, and also draw attention to several additional economic and political influences on policy outcomes. Beyond trade politics, these findings have implications for the expanding body of research on bill sponsorship as well as the literature on the role of Congress in U.S. foreign policy making.Master of Art
