The Value of Leisure Synchronization
利用法国带薪休假天数与公共假日日期准随机变化的数据，发现员工愿意牺牲工作时间换取与配偶共享的休闲时间，自雇者也会在配偶获得额外带薪假时用无薪休闲替代有薪工作。
This paper explores the extent to which workers are willing to trade hours worked for leisure time shared with their spouse. We use the fact that the number and timing of paid vacation days to which French employees are entitled vary in a quasi-random way from year to year along with the dates of public holidays. Self-employed workers do not benefit from public holidays, but we show that a large fraction of them substitute a day of unpaid leisure for a day of paid work whenever their spouse gets an extra day of paid leave.
