Working Time Reduction and Employment in a Finite World
Fagnart, Jean-François; Germain, Marc; Van der Linden, … - 2021
We study the consequences of a working time reduction (WTR hereafter) in a growth model with efficiency wages and an essential natural resource (natural capital). Considering that technical progress cannot reduce the resource content of final production to zero, we show that the effects of a WTR...
