Abstract
We present an efficient bargaining model in which wage share is negatively associated with product market structure and varies positively with union bargaining strength. The model is tested using data from a panel of U.K. manufacturing industries. Instrumental variables estimates corroborate a positive (negative) union bargaining strength (concentration) effect on labour's income share.
