“…In Kanbur (1979), entrepreneurs are self-selected prior to knowledge of their ability. In Boadway et al (1998), differences in ability (to sell the product) give rise to different success probabilities.

Weak evidence is found for the proposition that the rate of entrepreneurship is related to the degree of income inequality and to the union power in the economy. The results also suggest that a high living standard has a detrimental effect on self-employment. Terms of use: Documents in
