Tiivistelmä: | Possible explanations for earnings differences in self-employment and paid employment are investigated. The empirical results suggest that the nonpecuniary benefits of self-employment are substantial: Most entrepreneurs enter and persist in business despite the fact that they have both lower initial earnings and lower earnings growth than in paid employment, implying a median earnings differential of 35 percent fro individuals in business for 10 years. |
