Dennis Alexis Valin DittrichPeer pressure or personal choice? How peer working hours shape individual working hours preferences <a href="https://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:zbw:ifsowp:315193&r=&r=exp" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:zbw:ifsowp:315193&r=&r=exp</a> "We show that colleagues’ working hours causally affect working hours preferences. The reasons given by the respondents for choosing the stated working hours, by contrast, are primarily personal. This shows that preferences are socially determined, even if they are rationalised in individualistic terms. Our findings emphasise the importance of collective action for working time policy and highlight methodological challenges that need to be considered when analysing and interpreting working time preferences." <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/LaborEcon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LaborEcon</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/ExperimentalEcon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ExperimentalEcon</a>

Dennis Alexis Valin DittrichFirms’ Beliefs About Wage Setting <a href="https://openaccess.nhh.no/nhh-xmlui/bitstream/handle/11250/3182213/DP%2005.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://openaccess.nhh.no/nhh-xmlui/bitstream/handle/11250/3182213/DP%2005.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y</a> "… a significant minority of firms misperceive their position in the wage distribution… approximately 18 percent of firms hold inaccurate beliefs about their wage relative to other firms. … the primary motivation for paying higher <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/wages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wages</a> is the desire to attract new candidates and retain incumbent employees.

Dennis Alexis Valin DittrichWorking Hours and Workers' Health: Evidence from a National Experiment in Sweden <a href="https://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:iza:izadps:dp17707&r=&r=eur" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:iza:izadps:dp17707&r=&r=eur</a> "The regulation of working hours is one of the oldest concerns in employment legislation due to its importance for protecting workers’ physical and mental <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/health" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#health</a> and maintaining labour <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/productivity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#productivity</a>. … new causal evidence on the impact of reduced working hours on worker mortality: the implementation of the 8-hour workday reduced average annual mortality rates among affected workers by around 15% over the first seven years. These results are particularly pronounced among older workers and largely driven by decreases in deaths from workplace accidents, disability cases, and sick days. … reducing working hours could be an important strategy to improve worker health and reduce mortality, particularly in labour-intensive sectors." <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/LaborEcon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LaborEcon</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/employmentLaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#employmentLaw</a>
