Abstract

The aim of the present paper is to investigate the linkage between education and working hours, assumed to be positive as suggested by econometric evidence (Coleman and Pencavel (1993), Costa (1998) and Card (1999)), by using a model à la Acemoglu (1994, 1996) with a labour market characterised by a costly search activity and a matching technology function, and where labour input is a composite of two different dimensions: human capital and working time.
