investigates trends in collective bargaining and worker
representation in Germany from 2000 to 2008. It seeks to update
and widen earlier analyses pointing to a decline in collective
bargaining, while providing more information on the dual system
as a whole. Using data from the IAB Employment Panel and the
German Employment Register, we report evidence of a systematic
and continuing erosion of the dual system. Not unnaturally the
decline is led by developments in western Germany. Arguably, the
path of erosion will continue until rough and ready convergence
is reached with eastern Germany. Expressed differently, if the
process of decentralization underpinning these developments once
was 'regulated' it no longer appears to be so.}, address =
