  • Entrepreneurs

    Open AccessMartin Koudstaal, Randolph Sloof et al.ARTICLESmall Business Economics2019

    In a large survey (n = 1928), we examine whether entrepreneurs differ in their decision-making style from managers and employees. Besides two self-reported measures taken from psychology, we build on Rubinstein (Quarterly Journal of Economics 131: 859–890, 2016) by including two behavioral measures derived from response times and the nature of the strategic choices made. Supporting conventional wisdom, entrepreneurs report a stronger Faith in Int…

  • Why Do Entrepreneurial Parents Have Entrepreneurial Children?

    Matthew J Lindquist, Joeri Sol et al.ARTICLEJournal of Labor Economics2015

    We explore the origins of the intergenerational association in entrepreneurship using Swedish adoption data that allow us to quantify the relative importance of prebirth and postbirth factors.

The second manner is much less studied. It comes down to creating awareness of entrepreneurial opportunities and teaching the nee…

  • Education and Entrepreneurship Selection and Performance

    Open AccessJustin van der Sluis, Mirjam Van Praag et al.ARTICLEJournal of Economic Surveys2008

    This paper provides a review of empirical studies into the impact of formal schooling on entrepreneurship selection and performance in industrial countries. We describe the main effects found in the literature, we explain the variance in results across almost a hundred studies, and we put the empirical results in the context of related economic theory and the much further developed literature in labor economics (studying the rate of return to edu…
