When g ˆ gmax , wage-setting is agreed at the level of the whole economy, and when g ˆ gmin , it is agreed at the level of the workplace. The Calmfors±Drill assertion is that in these two extreme cases employment is better than at any intermediate level g0 , so that curve EE is U-shaped. If the labour supply L is exogenous, it forms an upper limit for employment but does not change this basic shape of curve EE. Calmfors and Drill did not give any formal proof for their result but Hoel (1991) and Calmfors (1993) have presented the following explanation.

We shall show that these two forms of product di€erentiation have di€erent e€ects on the organization of collective bargaining. In this kind of framework, one important issue is at what level of centralization the wages should be determined. On the basis of cross country evidence, Calmfors and Drill (1988) claimed that `extremes work best' in collective bargaining: either highly centralized systems with national bargaining, or highly decentralized systems with wage-setting at the level of individual ®rms seem to perform well in employment while the worst outcomes are found in systems with an intermediate degree of centralization.
