This paper has evolved from earlier drafts presented at workshops at Leiden (Aldi Hagenaars Memorial Conference), Amsterdam (Tinbergen Institute), Madrid (CEMFI), Nagoya University, Kansai Research Center (Osaka), Arhus (EALE Meetings) and forms part of a research project on wage formation and corporatism. An earlier version appeared as Discussion Paper no. 88 at the Economic Research Center, School of Economics, Nagoya University. Teulings was supported by a fellowship from the Royal Netherlands Academy of Sciences (KNAW). The views expressed here are those of the authors and should not be interpreted as reflecting those of KNAW. We thank all seminar participants for their comments.

N2 - In a corporatist country, of which the Netherlands is an example, wages should not be distinguished by union membership status, but by the bargaining regime. Four bargaining regimes can be distinguished: (i) company level bargaining, (ii) industry level bargaining, (iii) mandatory extension of an industry agreement, and (iv) no collective bargaining. Acknowledging firms' bargaining regime, we find small differences between the four regimes, and certainly no distinction between "covered" and "uncovered" firms.
