Abstract
Leisure contributes positively to the economy. Economists have frequently addressed the effect of leisure time on individual or collective economic outcomes (e.g. wages, productivity, efficiency, well-being). Productive time and free time are seen as enemies: more leisure time tends to reduce individual or aggregate economic performance. But leisure time and income are not necessarily antipoles: to achieve a higher position on the income ladder does not always require spending more hours on work and less hours on leisure.
