- Suppose that 15 states decrease the length of the standard work week from 40 to 35 hours. You are interested in the effects of this change on worker productivity. What effects might you expect to see? How would you conduct a difference-in-difference analysis to estimate the impact? What assumption must hold for the difference-in-difference analysis to be valid?arrow_forwardProductivity may not account for all of the wage disparities and growing income inequality in the United States. Discrimination, education, globalization, and legislation are all factors that can have an impact. The salary disparity between CEOs and average workers is also significant. Productivity is an important factor in labor-market wage disparities, but it is not the only one. Tax policies that favor the wealthy, as well as a decline in unionization, can both lead to rising income disparity. Changes in skilled labor demand, globalization, technology, and government policy can all contribute to the United States' expanding wealth gaps.arrow_forwardThe labor-force participation rate is computed as O (Employed + Adult Population) x 100.
