About This Event

Why do Americans devote so much more time to working for pay than continental Europeans? Which population groups display the biggest differences in work activity across countries? Do taxes and entitlement programs explain the large national differences in work activity and their evolution over time? Richard Rogerson, a professor of economics at Arizona State University, will present his recent work on the subject, and Gary Burtless, a senior fellow in economic studies at the Brookings Institution, will respond.
