DESCRIPTION:Suresh Naidu\, Associate Professor of Economics\, Columbia Univ
 ersity\n\nTalk: Unions and Inequality in Historical Perspective\n\nDespite
  a large literature on unions and inequality\, virtually no representative
  microdata on union membership is available prior to the 1973 CPS. We brin
 g a new source of data\, harmonized Gallup polls (N >1000000)\, to look at
  the effects of unions on inequality during the heyday of union power\, fr
 om 1937-1980. We document both substantial union household premiums as wel
 l as negative selection into unions throughout this period\, as well as a 
 robust negative correlation between unions and top income shares in a stat
 e-year panel\, conditional on state and year fixed effects. We also show t
 hat union members were historically more likely to identify as Democrats a
 nd more likely to support redistribution\, but are no more left-wing on ci
 vil rights or foreign policy.\n
