Identification is based on variation in light conditions induced by differences in sunrise and sunset times across space and time. We estimate that darkness causes annual costs of more than £500 million in Great Britain. By setting daylight saving time year-round 8 percent of these costs could be saved. Thus, focusing solely on the short run costs related to the transition itself underestimates the total costs of the current time regime. </jats:p>"}],"type":"journal_article","date_updated":"2022-03-10T13:09:47Z","publication":"The Review of Economics and Statistics","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"user_id":"53779","citation":{"ieee":"C.
