Dennis Alexis Valin Dittrich<p>Peer pressure or personal choice? How peer working hours shape individual working hours preferences <a href="https://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:zbw:ifsowp:315193&r=&r=exp" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:zbw:ifso</span><span class="invisible">wp:315193&r=&r=exp</span></a><br>"We show that colleagues’ working hours causally affect working hours preferences. The reasons given by the respondents for choosing the stated working hours, by contrast, are primarily personal. This shows that preferences are socially determined, even if they are rationalised in individualistic terms. Our findings emphasise the importance of collective action for working time policy and highlight methodological challenges that need to be considered when analysing and interpreting working time preferences."<br><a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/LaborEcon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LaborEcon</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/ExperimentalEcon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ExperimentalEcon</span></a></p>
