Abstract: | This paper studies latent entrepreneurship across nations. There are three main findings; 1) large number of people in the industrial countries say they would prefer to be self-employed; 2) for individuals the probability of preferring to be self-employed is strongly decreased with age, while the probability of being self-employed is strongly increasing with age and 3) the authors show that self-employed individuals have noticeably higher job satisfaction than the employed, so people's expressed wish to run their business cannot easily be written off as mistaken. |
