DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:<p><em><strong>Overworked: Implications for a Shorter Workweek (joint with 
 Laura Pilossoph and Anthony Swaminathan)</strong></em></p><p>Abstract:</p><
 p style="text-align: justify;">More than two thirds of full-time workers in
  German and UK survey data are <em>overworked</em>---they would like to red
 uce weekly hours at their current hourly wage. This holds across most worke
 r and job characteristics and has been stable for decades. The costs of the
 se wedges are large, totaling around 1% of GDP, implying potentially large 
 gains from a shorter workweek. Simple willingness-to-pay calculations sugge
 st an optimal length of the workweek in Germany of 33-36 hours. The gains a
 re largest for workers that are married, female, white-collar, mid-age, and
  those with children.</p>
