An appropriate wage bargaining system to improve economic performance

An appropriate wage bargaining system to improve economic performance in South African Journal of Economics, Vol. 63, No. 1

This paper shows how wage bargaining can impact on macroeconomic performance; at which level(s) wage bargaining can take account of macroeconomic considerations and the conditions or circumstances under which South Africa can opt for either centralization or decentralization of wage determination. Having evaluated the theoretical arguments and looked at concrete examples of attempts made in other countries (in particular Sweden and Japan) to balance wage settlements against their macroeconomic consequences, recommendations are made as to the appropriate future direction of wage bargaining in South Africa.
