  摘要：Many employment relationships concede rents to workers. Depending on the political institutions, the presence of such rents allows employers to use the threat of withdrawing them to control their workers' political behavior, such as their votes in the absence of secret ballot.

Moreover, US trade restrictions not covered by the WTO are significantly higher oil goods where the United ...
