TI  - Beschäftigungseffekte von Arbeitszeitverkürzung. Eine makroökonomische Perspektive
AB  - Persistently high unemployment rates in Europa have refueled the discussion of work-sharing as a means to boost employment. Theoretical as well as empirical studies do not reach a consensus whether a shorter working week increases or reduces employment. Empirical studies using microdata often find no or a negative employment effect, whereas time-series models often find a positive relationship. Building on work by Kapteyn et al. (2004), a macroeconomic model is developed to estimate long-run cointegrating relation ships. For a panel of 18 european countries, two enhancements to the literature are made. First, the average working hours of those full employed are used, limiting noise by part-time work.  Second,  cross-section  dependencies  are  controlled  for.  The  results  of  the  ARDL model suggest a positive relationship between shorter working weeks and employment.
