Abstract: We present a model that integrates the discrete working time choice of heterogenous households into a general equilibrium setting where wages are determined by sectoral bargaining between firms and trade unions. The model is calibrated to German micro and macro data. We then use it to analyse a stylised policy reform designed to stimulate labour supply. Copyright Springer Science + Business Media, Inc. 2005
