Determination of Average Working Time in Finland
Abstract
The paper investigates the determination of average working time in Finland. The issue is studied by using data from six industries from 1960 to 1996. The main empirical result is that both an increase in labour productivity and a widening of tax wedge have contributed to a decline in average working time in Finland. These observations are consistent with the predictions of theoretical model.
