| Abstract |
Long working hours have been one of the policy issues that the Taiwanese
government intends to address recently. This paper sets up a dynamic stochastic
general equilibrium model to discuss the macroecomonic effects of working
hour regulations. Decreasing working hours tends to decrease labor income
and output, but it also increases household’s welfare because leisure
rises. When welfare is measured by consumption alone, reduced working
hours, however, lower welfare because of falling consumption. Finally, we
find the macroeconomic effects of increasing mandatory overtime premium is
qualitatively the same to those of decreasing working hours, which decreases
labor income and output. |
