本研究比较了德国时间利用调查（GTUS）收集的工作时间数据，使用日记法与GTUS，德国社会经济小组和德国微观人口普查的程式化工作时间估计。虽然平均而言，时间日记数据和访谈数据之间的差异并不大，我们的研究结果表明，这两种技术之间存在显着的偏差，对于某些类型的个人，特别是那些工作时间长，工作时间灵活。我们还表明，程式化的工作时间估计有足够的变化，以重现真实的工作时间。
This study compares work time data collected by the German Time Use Survey (GTUS) using the diary method with stylized work time estimates from the GTUS, the German Socio-Economic Panel, and the German Microcensus. Although on average the differences between the time-diary data and the interview data is not large, our results show that significant deviations exist between these two techniques for certain types of individuals, especially those with long working hours and flexible work schedules. We also show that stylized work time estimates have insufficient variation to reproduce a true picture of working hours.
