Abstract: Based on a new time-use survey for Denmark, we categorized people by their chronotype and investigated whether morning types earned more than evening types. The assumption was that morning-type individuals are more likely to work when they are most efficient/productive compared with evening-type individuals owing to society favouring early over late working hours. The analyses showed that morning relative to evening types earned significantly more, and that morningness benefited men in particular.
