Theories on the determinants of bargaining outcomes are discussed in order to provide a basis for hypothesizing about the specific case. Statistical outcomes suggest that collective bargaining have been basically influenced by unemployment, manufacturing relative prices, the stabilization policies starting in 1986, and, specifically for negotiated minimum wages, change in the official rates of minimum wages.</p> <p><strong>JEL Classification</strong>: J51.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Brazilian Journal of Political Economy}, author={Horn, Carlos Henrique}, year={2008}, month={Jul.}, pages={510-529} }
