Diluting Exclusivity? The Prevalence and Distribution of Bursaries and Scholarships for Britain's Private Schools
Bursaries and scholarships are sometimes advanced as a mitigating factor for Britain’s private schools’ social exclusiveness and as a vehicle for social reform. This paper analyses trends in these grants since 1997 using the Family Resources Survey. We find that one in ten private school pupils received a bursary or scholarship, while only 3.4% of total fees were mitigated in this way. Over time the grants became more common but decreased in valu…

The role of higher education skills and support in graduate self-employment
This article examines the career progression of self‐employed graduates immediately following graduation and four years subsequently. Using a career socialization theory specific to entrepreneurial settings, it links the role of skills acquired in UK higher education courses and the use of support with self‐employment outcomes. Using a wide range of controls (e.g. individual background, prior education, career orientations), the article finds tha…
The Effects of Experience on Entrepreneurial Optimism and Uncertainty
This paper develops an occupational choice model in which entrepreneurs, who are initially uncertain about their true talent, learn from experience. As a consequence, both optimistic bias in talent beliefs and uncertainty diminish with experience. The model gives rise naturally to a heteroscedastic probit estimator of occupational choices, in contrast to the commonly used homoscedastic estimator. The model is applied to British data on self‐emplo…
Does More Mean Worse? Three Decades of Enterprise Policy in the Tees Valley

This paper looks at how enterprise has evolved in Cleveland/Tees Valley over the past three decades. It suggests—and finds—that businesses in the 1980…
