Prof. Franz Traxler
Research Interests:
My research interest is on comparative industrial
relations, industrial sociology and organizational sociology. My
current research focuses on institutions and economic performance
from a cross-national perspective. There are two major questions
which I have raised in my work. First, what are the preconditions
for the emergence and viability of particular institutional
arrangements? Second, what consequences in terms of economic
performance follow from specific instituional configurations? In
this context, I have particularly been interested in labour market
institutions. I am conducting a cross-national research project
sponsored by the Austrian Science Research Council. The project's
subject is on internationalization of industrial relations and
economic competitiveness.
