abstract: 'This article analyses the relationship between government spending and
the distribution of private income between capital and labour. While
most previous research assumes that government spending redistributes in
favour of the less wealthy, I distinguish between types of expenditures
that enhance the bargaining position of labour - that is, unemployment
benefits, public sector employment and investment in new capital - and
labour-saving and pro-business types of expenditures - that is,
outsourcing to private firms. The results are derived from various panel
regression techniques on a panel of 19 Organisation for Economic
Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries in the period 1985-2010
and show that expenditures on public sector employment and, to a lesser
extent, on new capital prevented the private wage share from declining
further, even after controlling for labour market institutions,
globalisation and technological change. Conversely, expenditures on
outsourcing substantially contributed to reducing the private wage
share. Unemployment benefits had a non-significant and negative effect
on the private wage share because their increase was the consequence of
higher levels of unemployment rather than policy. Implications for
theory and policy are drawn, including the support for a public
employment-led spending policy.'
