“…This reflects of course the higher level of earnings and non-wage income of men, but it also reflects 11 The incidence of overtime in Denmark seems to be considerably lower than in the UK where overtime incidence (for males) is found to be about 40%, see Kalwij and Gregory (2000). For the US, Trejo (1993) finds that the dual job-holding rate is about 6% for both men and women in the 1991 CPS sample which is based on observations in a given survey week. When using annual data, the dual job-holding rate is considerably higher, 21% for men and 12% for women.…”

“…The wages in overtime job typically exceed the wages in main occupation although empirical evidence show that this is not always the case, and sometimes there is even no compensation for overtime work, see for instance Trejo (1993) and Bauer and Zimmermann (1999). Further, the decision to work in a second job may reflect restrictions on hours in main occupation due to employers' preferences or due to regulations caused by for instance unions, see Oswald and Walker (1995).…”

“…This may reflect that individuals with few hours in main occupation have to supplement their income with a second job in order to work the preferred hours, i.e. they are restricted from having a full-time job in their main occupation, see Trejo (1993). …”

Citation of such a paper should account for its provisional character. Traditionally, labour supply data do not include much information on hours and wages in secondary job or overtime work. In this paper, we estimate labour supply models based on survey information on hours and wages in overtime work and second job which is merged to detailed register information on income taxes, deductions, taxable income etc. We also allow for the effect of observed fixed costs in main occupation and unobserved fixed costs in second job, and a 'stigmatization effect' from unemployment. The estimated models follow a 'Hausman-approach'. The results indicate that the labour supply elasticities are highly sensitive to the inclusion of information on overtime work and secondary job and to the handling of fixed costs of work. The estimated elasticities are numerically larger when explicit information on overtime and second job work is taken into account compared to traditional labour supply models without explicit information on overtime pay and second job wages. However, when the model allows for stigmatization effects and unobserved fixed costs of work in second job, the resulting elasticities reduce considerabl...

“…Este esfuerzo se traduce en horas extra gratuitas para mejorar la reputación y conseguir empleo permanente. Por su parte Trejo (1993) valida un modelo de demanda de trabajo donde la sindicalización impide sobre-tiempo gratuito, y de este modo disminuye su compra. Esto también es confirmado por Green (2002) Habría sido interesante incorporar otras variables específicas tales como la sindicalización, la subcontratación y cumplimiento del pago especial de la hora extra.…”

“…El análisis anterior puede ser objetado por extrapolar la demanda por las horas normales al sobre-tiempo, el cual se restringe a períodos especiales del año de alta demanda por el producto final (Trejo, 1993). Sin embargo nos parece que la demanda de horas extra es independiente del salario también en estos períodos especiales.…”

Resumen: En este trabajo identificamos algunos factores que inciden en el tiempo de trabajo de los trabajadores chilenos en 2003. Se concluye que la precariedad laboral incide de modo significativo en las horas trabajadas sin embargo la relación cambia a partir de cierto nivel cuando las personas no pueden trabajar la jornada por falta de oportunidades. Ello sugiere que el sobre-trabajo y el sub-empleo son manifestaciones del mismo fenómeno por lo cual nuevas medidas para flexibilizar los derechos patronales agravarían estos problemas. Asimismo, se devela una relación negativa entre salario por hora y horas trabajadas para cerca del 80% de los trabajadores. Esto hace pensar que las necesidades básicas están insatisfechas; además contradice la porción significativa de la curva de oferta laboral de los libros de texto de microeconomía. Estas relaciones se confirman en un modelo exploratorio añadiendo variables de control de tipo regional, demográfico y productivo.Palabras clave: sobretiempo, precariedad laboral, Chile Overtime of Labor in Chile 2003: An explorer modelAbstract: In this work we identify some factors that affect labor time in the Chilean workers in 2003. We conclude that labor precarity is import to explicate over time and under standard time. It suggests what underemployment and over-time are manifestations of the same phenomena, and then new measure to make more flexible labor would aggravate those problems. Also, we show a negative relation between wage and hours to 80% of workers because basics needs are unsatisfied, refuting the positive curve of labor supply of textbooks. Its relations are confirmed in our exploratory model adding control variables of regional, demographic and productive type.

The Return to Hours and Workers in U.S. Manufacturing: Evidence on Aggregation Bias

Reliance on overtime or part‐time work is contested by organized labor and suggests employers exploit trade‐offs between workers and hours. Worker‐hour models predict return to hours and workers' estimates are crucial in evaluating the trade‐off between them. This paper uses data that vary by industry to test and reject a common production structure across industries used in prior work; this aggregation is shown to yield an upward bias in return‐to‐hours estimates. Contrary to prior evidence, the industry‐specific return‐to‐hour estimates are lower than return‐to‐worker estimates and are generally less than one, suggesting that trade‐offs between workers and hours may be cost effective.
