| Abstract: | In the past decades, the number of non-farm proprietorships in the United States (U.S.) has expanded markedly. Yet, this expansion has not occurred evenly over space. It is uncovered through regression analysis correcting for spatial autocorrelation that proprietors respond rationally to economic incentives. Parameter estimates for variables measuring collateral, age, ethnic mix, government policy, female labour force participation, etc. each have the expected signs. For policymakers, there are a few options available for influencing growth in self-employment densities over time. |
