加州长期以来的一项规定是,大多数女性一天工作时间超过八小时,就可以获得1.5倍的工资。分析1973年、1985年和1991年的当前人口调查数据,我们发现,相对于其他州的男性,这种加班惩罚大大减少了加州男性每天加班的数量。使用女性来控制加州特有的冲击的比较显示出更强的效果。这些估计意味着加班时间需求的价格弹性至少为20.5。
California's longstanding requirement that most women receive time-and-a-half pay for workhours beyond eight in one day was extended to men in 1980. Analyzing Current Population Survey data from 1973, 1985, and 1991, we find that this overtime penalty substantially reduced the amount of daily overtime worked by California men relative to men in other states. Comparisons that use women to control for California-specific shocks show even stronger effects. The estimates imply a price elasticity of demand for overtime hours of at least 20.5.
