Abstract
A data set on strike activity for Brazil during the period between 1983 and 1993 is used to produce results based on statistical methods of frequency and duration analysis. The obtained results of frequency and duration of strikes, including their relationships with some macroeconomic variables, are compared with ones from similar studies using data from the USA and Canada. The comparison shows that there seems to be a common pattern of results in these countries. An explanation for the observed features of these patterns is then sought in the context of game‐theoretic models of bargaining, and suggestions for future research in the area are given.
