This paper investigates the effect of trade union structure on firms’
technological choices when the unions care about environmental protection. We compare a decentralized with a centralized union structure in
a Cournot duopoly. Our results suggest that a decentralized structure
provides higher incentives for the investment in cleaner technologies, although emissions may be lower under a centralized structure. The effect
of the environmental damage parameter on wages and output may be
non-monotonic. [-]
