Total employment in Germany is supposed to increase if people could realize their desired working hours. However, this back-of-the-envelope calculation overestimates the effect of loosening hours constraints, because even in a very flexible labor market there will exist hours restrictions for certain jobs and occupations.

In this paper the impact of working hours on the gross hourly wage rate of West German women is analyzed. We use a simultaneous wage-hours model which takes into account the participation decision.

Second, we ...

A very robust finding is that part-time working men are subject to ...

We use the novel P-index to summarize the average share of pleasurable minutes on a day and show that in contrast to ...

Untersucht wird die individuelle Reallohnentwicklung von Ost- und Westdeutschen für den Zeitraum 1990/91 bis 1995/96 auf der Grundlage von Daten aus dem Sozioökonomischen Panel. Die Parameter werden mittels Medianregression geschätzt. Theorien des Humankapitals und der beruflichen Mobilität gehen davon aus, dass Lohnänderungen in Übergangsökonomien und Ökonomien ohne Transformation unterschiedlich ...
