The standard literature on working time has modelled the decisions of firms in a deterministic framework in which firms can choose between employment and overtime (given mandated standard hours). Contrary to this approach, we consider the impact of uncertainty and real options on the decision of working time and examine the determinants of employment and hours in a stochastic framework. A numbe...

"Although the determinants of teenager participation in the labour market have been studied previously (both in the United States and the United Kingdom), there remain a number of neglected questions. We address some of these in this paper, basing our analysis on data taken from the UK National Child Development Study. We first examine how teenagers divide their time between working and studyin...

According to the time-based resource-sharing model (P. Barrouillet, S. Bernardin, & V. Camos, 2004), the cognitive load a given task involves is a function of the proportion of time during which it captures attention, thus impeding other attention-demanding processes. Accordingly, the present study demonstrates that the disruptive effect on concurrent maintenance of memory retrievals and respon...

The working set is a dynamic subset of a process’s address space that must be loaded in main memory to ensure acceptable processing efficiency. Working set policies can be tuned for close-tooptimal throughput and response time. They prevent thrashing. The working set is the reference standard for all virtual memory management policies.

Page Inter-reference Interval distribution, average page fault frequency (the frequency of those Instances at which an executing program requires a page of data or Instructions not In the main memory) average working set size and Inter-page fault-time (time between page fault) distribution for a simulated Working Set Replacement Algorithm for three typical programs with different sizes were mea...

Parents spend considerable time and resources investing in their children’s development. Given evidence that the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) affects maternal labor supply, we investigate how maximum available EITC amount a broad array of use activities, focusing on nature spent with children. Using 2003–18 data, find federal state expansions increase work time, reducing devoted to home prod...

Evidence shows that working time mismatch, i.e. the difference between actual and desired hours, is negatively related to employees' job satisfaction. Using longitudinal data from German Socio-Economic Panel, we examine potential moderating effect of autonomy on this relation also consider corresponding role gender. First, individual fixed effects panel estimations reaffirm both negative link h...
