This paper analyzes whether part-time employment is beneficial for firm productivity in the service sector. Using a … productivity, we estimate a production function including heterogeneous employment shares based on work hours. We find that a … larger part-time employment share leads to greater firm productivity. Additional data on the timing of labor demand show that …

Using unique data with … of physical (as opposed to revenue) TFP to instrument labor productivity in the wage equations.
