The resulting policy emphasizes  dependence on market forces to set prices and to encourage efficient  production techniques. While extensive research investigates the  influence of deregulation on prices, profits and productivity, the  effect on labor markets has not received the same scrutiny. Firms in  these industries are of major importance to business operations in  other industries because they provide the critical services of  transporting goods and transmitting information. This may partly  explain such extensive research on the product market aspects of  regulatory reform. Examining labor markets in the transportation and  telecommunications industries is also highly warranted, as  historically these industries represented some of the most heavily  unionized sectors in the economy. \u003cbr\u003e  The extent to which regulatory reform has encouraged product market  competition may not necessarily result in the same degree of  competition across industries. \u003cem\u003eRegulatory Reform and Labor  Markets\u003c\/em\u003e debates the notion that research on regulatory reform and  labor markets should develop within the framework of the competitive  model. This is achieved by presenting diverging views on wage and  employment determination in distinctly different deregulated  industries.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-11-12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9789401060349\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401060349\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-4856-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 390\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44359016317068,"sku":"9789401060349","price":153.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401060349.jpg?v=1755100205","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789401060349","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
