So, we investigate whether this is related to di erences in labor and product market institutions, and notably wage-setting institutions, across countries. Government in- volvement in collective bargaining, bargaining centralization and collective bargaining systems with predominant regional levels' systems are positively correlated with the probability of nd- ing public wage leadership. Among the factors that reduce its probability we can underline the impact of globalization and a level of collective bargaining closer to the company one
