G. ALAN BALFOUR
This article estimates the interstate effects of unionization on teachers' salaries in 1969-70, a "lagged effect" on 1970-71 salaries, and effects on the rate of change in salaries for the two years. Alternative measures of unionization were formulated. Neither the presence of substantive bargaining procedures, nor the presence of any type of union recognition, nor teacher union membership, was found to have a significant positive effect on teachers' salaries or the rate of change.
