Abstract

Most research on arbitrator decision-making has used a model that assumes
there is only one disputed issue. This study shows this model is not
appropriate in multi—issue disputes under a final—offer by package law. Using
data from Wisconsin, I find arbitrators do give substantial weight to non-wage
issues in multi-issue disputes. However, the written awards of arbitrators
substantially understate the weight given to non-wage issues in the final
offer selection.
