Project in detail

Vacation, sick leaves and their effect on productivity

Members of this project:

• Dr. Christian Hunkler (Ansprechpartner)
• Prof. Dr. Matthias Weiss

Using the data described in "Age and Labor Productivity in Services" we focus on whether older workers need more vacation to recover, i.e. recover their full productivity, than younger workers in service occupations. At this stage we consider various specifications to find effects of duration and frequency of vacation on productivity.
