Natural Experiments in Time Use Economics

A Primer on the 35-Hour in France, 1997–2007, IZA DP No. 3402, (Philippe Askenazy, 2008)

Abridged Abstract:

France has experienced massive changes in its regulation of working time during the last decade. These changes generate natural experiments that may help to study a variety of issues in labor economics, including work sharing effect on job creation or productivity, labor relations or adaptation of firms to regulation.
