WHY DO EUROPEANS WORK SO LITTLE?*
发现美国人均市场工作时间比瑞典高约10%，但计入家务劳动后总工作时间仅差1%。通过模型分析，指出税收等政策差异可以解释两国在劳动供给和家庭生产上的差异，且结果不受劳动供给弹性影响。
Market work per person is roughly 10% higher in the United States than in Sweden. However, if we include the work carried out in home production, the total amount of work only differs by 1%. I set up a model and show that differences in policy—mainly taxes—can account for the discrepancy in both labor supply and home production between Sweden and the United States. These results are independent of the elasticity of labor supply.
