Abstract

In this paper, we exploit a panel of industry-level data in European countries to study the economic impact of national reductions in usual weekly working hours between 1995 and 2007. Our identification strategy relies on the five national reforms that took place over this period and on initial differences across sectors in the share of workers exposed to the reforms. On average, the number of hours worked in more affected sectors fell, hourly wages rose, while employment did not increase. The effect on value added per hour worked appears to be positive but non-significant.

工作时间减少对就业的影响：来自欧洲改革的部门层面证据

在这篇论文中，我们利用欧洲国家的一组行业级数据来研究1995年至2007年间国家减少每周正常工作时间对经济的影响。我们的识别战略依赖于在此期间进行的五项国家改革，以及各部门在接受改革的工人比例方面的初步差异。平均而言，受影响较大行业的工作时间下降，时薪上升，而就业人数没有增加。对每工作小时增加值的影响似乎是积极的，但并不显著。
