Reviews
'During the 1980s and 1990s very substantial institutional reform occurred in public sector labour markets in many countries - But thus far there has been very little in the way of detailed and rigorous analysis of that reform such as is undertaken in this work...The book is written in an engaging style, and it will be accessible to audiences from a wide variety of discipline areas. There is no doubt that this is now a core reference for anyone seeking to understand the operation of public sector labour markets.' Professor Jeff Borland, University of Melbourne, Australia '... In their brilliant analysis of this process Bender and Elliott set out how the institutions of central government pay setting in Australia, Sweden and the UK have altered and how this has influenced private-public pay structures, gender pay differentials and links between individuals' pay and performance .... Essential reading for all those who want to get to grips with what has happened to and inside the public sector in recent years.' Professor David Metcalf, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK ’...a rich source of information to researchers...an excellent example of methodological rigour...’ Industrial Relations Journal '...a useful contribution to the discussion of pay setting mechanisms...thought provoking...'
