“…The dependent variable is the natural log of the respondent's gross weekly pay divided by their basic hours of work plus their paid overtime hours, where the latter are multiplied by 1.3 to reflect higher pay for these hours (Hart et al, 1996). The wage equations include standard human capital variables such as education and experience.…”

“…Attempts at resolving this conflict between theory and evidence focused on imposing a particular structure on the production technology (Hart, 1987;Calmfors and Hoel, 1988;Leslie, 1991) or specifying the overtime premium as a increasing function of hours worked. Hart subsequently found that, in the data, increases with hours in Japan, but not in the UK or US (Hart and Ruffell, 1993;Hart et al, 1996;Bell and Hart, 1999). The well-established empirical result that dHads H b 0 remains a puzzle.…”

“…The received wisdom is that work-sharing can only be obtained if there is no overtime. Attempts to amend overtime models to generate a prediction favourable to work-sharing (Hart, 1987;Calmfors and Hoel, 1988;Leslie, 1991) have proved rather unsuccessful empirically (Hart and Ruffell, 1993;Hart, Malley and Ruffell, 1996;Bell and Hart, 1999).…”

This paper analyses work-sharing in the union-firm bargaining context. In keeping with mechanisms observed in actual negotiations, we assume that the firm sets employment and we consider bargaining regimes with and without overtime. In models without overtime, work-sharing is consistent with union-firm bargaining provided that income-sharing occurs when the wage rises. In models with overtime, a Pareto-improving cut in the workweek requires wage concession, which is necessary, but not sufficient, for work-sharing. Our models are consistent with a number of well-established stylised facts. In particular, we explain why estimates of the actual hours-standard hours elasticity are always close to unity.
