  Work Less - New Strategies for a...

  You can't have a healthy economy with an unhealthy work force. Work Less proposes ways to reduce work hours and keep workers happier, healthier, and more productive. 
   
   
   
  Recent years have revealed just how stressed out many workers are. While the trend to longer hours has been developing for several decades, the trend's effects have been aggravated during the pandemic by the growing use of Zoom and other new technologies for meetings with clients, customers, and coworkers. 
   
   
   
  Exhausted and fed up, today's workers are starting to insist on shorter hours and greater flexibility as to where they do their work. There is growing consensus that the forty-hour week, the norm since the 1940s, has outlived its usefulness. And there is an urgent need for new work schedules that adequately reflect the far greater intensity of work today, as well as the greater family demands on a labor force made up of almost fifty percent women, who bear the brunt of domestic duties. 
   
   
   
  Work Less offers practical scheduling suggestions to employers and workers and numerous policy options for government policy-makers to improve working conditions.

  Bitcoin Volume-Volatility...

  This podcast analyzes the relationship between volume and volatility in Bitcoin's futures and spot markets, using high-frequency data. The authors find that unexpected trading volume in the spot markets is the main explanatory factor for systemic volatility, while futures volume on the CME has a limited or even stabilizing impact. Two methodologies are used to estimate volatility: one based on volume-weighted prices and the other on the CME Bitcoin Reference Rate methodology. The study concludes that Bitcoin's volatility is strongly associated with unexpected volumes in the spot markets and not with CME futures volumes. The results are considered robust across different data frequencies.
