Income Status and Life Satisfaction
The importance of both income rank and relative income, as indicators of status, has long been recognised in the literature on life satisfaction and happiness. Recently, several authors have made explicit comparisons of the relative importance of these two measures of income status, and concluded that rank dominates to the extent that reference income becomes insignificant in regressions including both these explanatory variables, and that even a…
What makes a die-hard entrepreneur? Beyond the ‘employee or entrepreneur’ dichotomy
The article makes three contributions to the economics literature on entrepreneurship. We offer a new measure of entrepreneurship which accounts for variations in persistence in self-employment and as a result avoids the weakness of approaches which categorise an individual as an entrepreneur by observing their occupation at just one point in their career. We outline an econometric methodology to account for this approach and find, via a statisti…
Is there a North–South Divide in Self-employment in England
n Using decomposition analysis, the paper investigates why Northern England has fewer but higher performing self-employed individuals than the South. We find the causes are mainly structural differences rather than regional variation in individual characteristics. There are more self employed individuals in the South, but on average they create fewer jobs. Post compulsory education has a strong negative effect on the probability of self employmen…
Self-employment Wealth and Job Creation
Earning Curves and Wage Curves
Using British county data for full‐time male manual workers we extend earlier work to investigate wage and earning curves. We distinguish between total earnings and hourly wages for standard hours, uncontaminated by overtime premium. Using data from 1980–1995 we find that earnings behaviour is dominated by volatile hours in the short run, while wage growth is highly sensitive to the level of unemployment as in the classical Phillips curve with ma…
On the Non Uniqueness of Competitive Equilibrium With an Intensive Margin
Adding an intensive margin, such as working time, to a simple two-factor general equilibrium model of efficient contracts yields at least two perfectly competitive equilibria under simple and intuitive assumptions, such as nonwage labor costs. Longer hours or greater division of labor are associated with lower workers' utility and a higher return on capital in respective equilibria, so distributive conflict appears to be unavoidable even in the c…

Hours, Layoffs and Unemployment Insurance Funding
The strikingly different behaviour of important economic aggregates in the United States and other industrial countries has received surprisingly little attention from economists. Among recent exceptions, however, Gordon (1982) has shown that wages and hours of work are much more flexible in the United Kingdom and Japan than in the United States. This paper offers an explanation for the contrasting layoff and hours of work experience between the …
