Self-Employment - a Way to End Unemployment?: Empirical Evidence from German Pseudo-Panel Data

Glocker, Daniela; Steiner, Viktor - DIW Berlin (Deutsches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung) - 2007

This paper contributes to the policy-relevant question whether self-employment is a way out of (long-term) unemployment …. We estimate the relationship between the entry rate into self-employment and previous (long-term) unemployment on the … measurement errors induced by the pseudo panel structure. We find that previous (long-term) unemployment significantly increases …
