Some information on the session logistics:
If not stated otherwise, the discussant is the following speaker, with the first speaker being the discussant of the last paper. The last speaker of each session is the session chair. (Exception: invited sessions)
Presenters should speak for no more than 20 minutes, and discussants should limit their remarks to no more than 5 minutes. The remaining time should be reserved for audience questions and the presenter’s responses. We suggest following these guidelines also in the (less common) 3-paper sessions in a 2-hour slot, to allow participants to move between sessions. Discussants are encouraged to avoid summarizing the paper. By focusing on a few questions and comments, the discussants can help start a broader discussion with the audience.
Only registered participants can attend this conference. Further information available on the congress website https://www.iseg.ulisboa.pt/en/event/iipf/ .

Substitutes or Complements? Evidence on Peer Effects from the Public Sector Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel Estimates of effort peer effects are predominantly positive, from settings with piece-rate pay, observable individual output, and no external constraint on quantity. This paper estimates the same object where none hold. A statutory rule in the Israeli Civil Service raises a mother's required daily shift from 7.5 to 8 hours in the month her youngest child turns one, moving one team member's hours on a date fixed by a birth. The outcome is time-clock hours, a directly measured input, and the endogenous regressor is one named worker's hours rather than a group mean. The spillover is negative: a one-hour increase in a colleague's monthly hours reduces a teammate's own by 0.098 hours. Across the teammates observed in an average team that offsets roughly a third of the hours the rule adds. The response is concentrated in the first three months and inconsistent with the mechanical division of a fixed workload.
