Abstract

This note describes the lottery - and insurance-market equilibrium in
an economy with non-convex straight-time and overtime employment. In contrast to
Hansen and Sargent (1988), the overtime-decision is a sequential one. This requires
two separate insurance market to operate, one for straight-time work, and one for
overtime. In addition, given that the labor choice for regular and overtime hours is
made in succession, the insurance market for overtime needs to open once the insurance market has closed. This segmentation and sequentiality of insurance markets
operation is a new result in the literature and a direct consequence of the sequential
nature of the overtime labor decision.
