McKersie's 1965 framework for labor bargaining became one of negotiation theory’s most enduring ideas — and helped guide a life of activism, mentorship, and academic leadership. https://t.co/Q8fa7f7xGK

[MIT Sloan School of Management @MITSloan]

Robert B. McKersie, a professor emeritus at the MIT Sloan School of Management whose pioneering research on collective bargaining and negotiations is widely credited with shaping the field of industrial relations, died July 11 at the age of 96.

McKersie’s landmark 1965 book, “A Behavioral Theory of Labor Negotiations: An Analysis of a Social Interaction System,” co-authored with his friend Richard Walton, influenced how negotiations are taught, practiced, and studied across the world.

His active participation in the early civil rights movement in Chicago, where he studied and challenged discriminatory employment practices, reflected McKersie’s belief that academic research should contribute to meaningful institutional and social change.

Variously hailed as a distinguished scholar, educator, author, and mentor, McKersie leaves a legacy of ideas and integrity. His friend and colleague MIT Sloan professor emeritus Thomas Kochan once described McKersie as “one of the most important industrial relations scholars and leaders of our time — if not the most important.”

Felix Busch, Wenhao Jiang, and I just published a piece in Social Forces asking what explains the increased wage gap between those in professional and managerial (PM) jobs vs all other jobs in the US. Standard link (you may share this link anywhere):

[ILR Review @ILRReview]

Why do we see gendered differences in reservation #wages? Gokce Basbug @DUBusSchool and Roberto M. Fernandez @MITSloan show that #women and #men search for different #occupations, with women opting for jobs with less working hours.

🔎 Is it possible to reconceptualise risk- and rights-based narratives in #AI governance as complementary rather than competing approaches? How can AI adoption deliver higher-quality outcomes, fostering trust at #work and beyond?

📣Hi #econtwitter! I am on the job market! 📣
My JMP builds a 20-year panel showing an after-school care reform increased university grad. rates. The key: moving children from home to care centers →peer interactions shaped preferences/beliefs—not skills.

New working paper!

Have you ever wondered how the way you form friendships, partnerships, etc affects the structure of how society as a whole interacts?

It turns out that even small changes to individual incentives can have huge aggregate effects!

We looked beyond earnings at 6 dimensions of work quality across 26 countries.
The results challenge assumptions about what degrees actually deliver…
