Leisure time and creativity – evidence from a natural experiment at the shopfloor This project investigates the effect of leisure time on creativity in a large firm. We exploit a dataset on the individual level in which workers are treated by an exogenous shock, which results in more leisure time in form of some days off. We find that after the leisure break, individuals produce significantly more ideas than the untreated control group. We discuss different alternative explanations for this finding. | |
