Abstract

Using data on GitHub users around the world, we estimate the effects of transitions to Daylight Saving Time on worker activity. In daily activity, transitions appear short lived—there is evidence of two days of declines before activity returns to baseline levels. However, hourly analysis reveals a transition to Daylight Saving Time that is much longer—losses appear in the early working hours of work days into a second week following the initiation of Daylight Saving Time.

夏令时过渡期的生产力损失：GitHub 每小时活动的证据

利用全球 GitHub 用户的数据，我们估算了夏令时过渡对工人活动的影响。在日常活动中，过渡似乎是短暂的--有证据表明，活动量在恢复到基线水平之前会有两天的下降。然而，按小时进行的分析表明，向夏令时过渡的时间要长得多--在夏令时开始后的第二周，损失出现在工作日的早期工作时间。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization is devoted to theoretical and empirical research concerning economic decision, organization and behavior and to economic change in all its aspects. Its specific purposes are to foster an improved understanding of how human cognitive, computational and informational characteristics influence the working of economic organizations and market economies and how an economy structural features lead to various types of micro and macro behavior, to changing patterns of development and to institutional evolution. Research with these purposes that explore the interrelations of economics with other disciplines such as biology, psychology, law, anthropology, sociology and mathematics is particularly welcome.
