An economic study observed the average daily choices of workers regarding free time and consumption in two different countries. The findings are as follows:
- Netherlands: 20 hours of free time, $120 consumption
- United States: 19 hours of free time, $155 consumption
It is also known that the average hourly wage is higher in the United States than in the Netherlands. Based only on this information, what is the most logical conclusion that can be drawn about the preferences of the average worker in these two countries?

Evaluating a Policy Claim on Work and Wages
A study collected data on the average daily work-leisure choices and consumption levels for five countries, which are listed below in order of increasing average wage rates.
- Mexico: 18 hours free time, $50 consumption
- Turkey: 19 hours free time, $60 consumption
- South Korea: 18.5 hours free time, $80 consumption
- Netherlands: 20 hours free time, $120 consumption
- United States: 19 hours free time, $155 consumption
Statement: The provided data demonstrates that as the average wage rate increases, workers consistently choose to have more consumption and less free time.
An economic study provides the average daily free time and consumption choices for workers in several countries. Given the data below, match each country to the statement that best describes its observed work-leisure outcome.
Data:
- Mexico: 18 hours free time, $50 consumption
- South Korea: 18.5 hours free time, $80 consumption
- Netherlands: 20 hours free time, $120 consumption
- United States: 19 hours free time, $155 consumption

Analyzing Income and Substitution Effects in Work-Leisure Choices
An economic study provides the average daily choices of workers in four countries regarding their free time and consumption. Based on this data, arrange the countries in order from the one with the fewest average hours worked per day to the one with the most average hours worked per day. Assume a 24-hour day.
An economic study provides the following data on average daily choices:
- Turkey: 19 hours free time, $60 consumption
- United States: 19 hours free time, $155 consumption
Given that the average wage is significantly higher in the United States, this suggests that for American workers relative to Turkish workers, the ____ effect, which encourages working more because each hour of leisure is more costly in terms of foregone earnings, is strong enough to completely offset the tendency to 'buy' more leisure with higher income.
