34 MPIfG Report 1999–2002 gies of organized labor and capital in social policy making and self-administration. Taking the case of early retirement, the project studies the interests of the social partners in externalizing social costs, as well as their role in current reform efforts. Both employers and trade unions have colluded in using “early exit” as a labor shedding strategy in the past. The project explains on the one hand the diverse national trajectories of early exit from work as a consequence of the interplay of the “pull” of welfare regimes, “the push” of production systems, and the mediation between the social partners. On the other hand, the project aims to analyze the varying capacities of the social partners to block reforms and the conditions under which they are willing to cooperate with the government in reforming social policy.

Aldershot: Ashgate, 1999, 1–26 Payment Systems under the Impact of Internationalization: Compensation Schemes in Large German Companies Antje Kurdelbusch Payment systems in Germany are changing. There is a noticeable trend towards a higher share of variable wage components compared to fixed pay. Bonus payments contingent on a company’s performance and on individual workers’ achievements are becoming more common, and so are employee ownership plans and innovative forms of fringe benefits. Can this trend be observed across the board, or is it company-specific? Are wage regimes and wages becoming more differentiated within and between companies? To what extent can these changing patterns be attributed to economic internationalization? Are the new payment systems consistent with centralized collective bargaining, which aims at a homogeneous wage structure, or will the bargaining system have to adjust? This doctoral project uses quantitative methods to analyze a sample of the 100 largest German companies, examining their pay systems and their degree of internationalization. Complementary case studies will illustrate the consequences of new compensation schemes on the German system of industrial relations. Project duration: January 1999 to May 2002.

MPIfG Working Paper 00/1. Cologne: Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies, 2000. Online: Company-Level Employment Pacts and the Transformation of the German System of Industrial Relations Britta Rehder For several decades the German system of industrial relations has been marked by a high degree of regulation. Central wage agreements protect employees from market fluctuations, and
make for comparable labor costs across firms and sectors. Centralized collective bargaining is conducive to cooperative relations between employers and employees at the company level. But since the 1990s a large number of company-specific employment pacts have emerged which aim at increasing competitiveness and securing jobs by lowering labor costs; in a number of respects, they modified or replaced central wage agreements. Exploring the impact of company-specific employment pacts on the German system of industrial relations, this doctoral project focuses on questions such as: To what extent do pacts go beyond the framework of existing collective agreements? Do trade unions participate in the bargaining processes or are they excluded? Are associations and the collective bargaining system losing legitimacy? To what extent can the new developments be explained by the internationalization process that German companies are undergoing? Project duration: January 1999 to April 2002.

MPIfG Working Paper 00/1. Cologne: Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies, 2000. Online: Germany and Japan: The Future of Nationally Embedded Capitalism in a Global Economy Wolfgang Streeck and Kozo Yamamura (University of Washington–Seattle), with Gregory Jackson (project manager) Carried out in cooperation with leading German, Japanese and American social scientists, this project examines the similarities and differences between Germany and Japan’s national varieties of capitalism, and the present transformation of their economically relevant social institutions. Despite their past economic competitiveness relative to Anglo-American “normal capitalism,” their nationally specific institutions of economic governance have now begun a process of adaptation under the impact of economic and political internationalization. The study comparatively examines the areas of innovation, industrial relations, work organization, labor markets, corporate governance, financial markets and social security systems. It also looks at the regional and international embeddedness of each country and at its domestic politics, including political parties and interest associations. The theoretical background of the project is the question of institutional convergence or divergence in modern industrial societies, and the compatibility of different national regimes of economic governance with international market relations. The project is jointly directed by Wolfgang Streeck (Max 35
