Abstract
En 中文
In a new model of work schedules, employers choose the number of working hours and either assign the specific hours worked or let workers choose their preferred hours via flextime. Workers' preferences over schedules, and their tendencies to fatigue from long shifts, influence their productivities. An inverted-U-shaped hours-output profile arises. Flextime policies shift its peak rightward. Long hours go hand-in-hand with flextime. The employer finds flextime less appealing when wages exogenously increase. Analysis of a worker-employer matched panel of British workplaces in 2004 and 2011 reveals that flextime and other flexible work practices mitigate the productivity erosion from long hours.
