Are overtime plants more efficient than standard-time plants? A stochastic production frontier analysis using the IAB Establishment Panel

Using data from the IAB Establishment Panel, 1995–2000, we investigate between-plant variations in productivity. The study compares technical efficiencies between plants which work overtime (overtime plants) and plants which do not work overtime (standard-time plants), where technical efficiency mea...
