A centuries-old tradition, the week constitutes a coordination device that allows for temporal agglomeration in both production and leisure. But does it induce coordination on the optimal workweek? Central to this question is the nature of time-inseparability in labor productivity. Productivity is increasing in restfulness, which diminishes with work time, and in skill, which improves with work time. I show that, because skill accumulates and depreciates slowly, there are productivity gains from coordinating on a workweek with fewer but more frequent vacation days.

与时间密不可分的劳动生产率和工作周*
作为一个有着数百年历史的传统,一周构成了一个协调装置,允许生产和休闲的时间聚集。但它是否会在最佳工作周上引起协调?这个问题的核心是劳动生产率中时间不可分的性质。工作效率会随着休息时间的增加而减少,而技能会随着工作时间的增加而提高。我表明,由于技能的积累和贬值缓慢,因此在工作周内协调休假天数更少但更频繁的工作可以提高生产力。
