Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
We study interdependencies in spousal labor supply by exploiting the
design of the French workweek reduction, which introduced exogenous
variation in one's spouse's labor supply, at constant earnings.
Treated employees work on average two hours less per week.
Husbands of treated women respond by reducing their labor supply
by about half an hour, consistent with substantial leisure complementarity,
and specifically cut the nonusual component of their
workweek, leaving usual hours unchanged. Women's response to
their husband's treatment is instead weak and rarely statistically
significant, possibly due to heavier constraints in the organization of
their workweek.
