text: " Abstract - \r\n In the absence of closed
shops and discriminatory wage policies, union membership can be explained by the
existence of social norms.We describe a model, incorporating institutional features
of the German labour market, which explicitly allows for social custom effects
in the determination of union membership. Using panel data for Germany, we find
evidence for according effects which restrict freeriding. The impact of social
norms tends to increase with net union density. Hence, observed reductions in
the demand for union membership can weaken the impact of a norm and accentuate
the free-rider problem.\r\n "
