Abstract

Knowledge of the determinants of self‐employment income is critical to entrepreneurial development strategies if the development goal is to increase incomes not just employment. Using American Community Survey data, unconditional quantile regression is used to investigate differences in the relationship between entrepreneurial income and an array of individual, industry, and regional characteristics across the self‐employment income distribution. Personal attributes, such as education, race, age, and gender, both explain differences in self‐employment income and vary in importance across the income distribution. Regional agglomerative effects are significantly positive and stronger at the upper end of the self‐employed income distribution. El conocimiento de los determinantes de los ingresos del trabajo por cuenta propia es fundamental para las estrategias de desarrollo empresarial cuando el objetivo de desarrollo es aumentar los ingresos y no sólo el empleo. Se utiliza la regresión de cuantiles incondicionales con datos de la Encuesta de la Comunidad Estadounidense para investigar las diferencias en la relación entre los ingresos empresariales y una serie de características individuales, industriales y regionales de la distribución de los ingresos del empleo por cuenta propia. Los atributos personales, como la educación, la raza, la edad y el género, explican las diferencias en los ingresos del trabajo por cuenta propia y su importancia varía en toda la distribución de los ingresos. Los efectos de aglomeración regionales son significativamente positivos y más fuertes en el extremo superior de la distribución de los ingresos de los trabajadores por cuenta propia. 成長目標が、雇用だけでなく所得も増加させることである場合、アントレプレナーの成長戦略では、個人事業主の所得の決定要因に関する知識が非常に重要となる。アメリカン・コミュニティ・サーベイ (American Community Survey)のデータを用いて、無条件分位点回帰法により、アントレプレナーの所得と、個人事業主の所得分布全体における個人、産業、地域の特性との関連性における相違を検討する。学歴や人種、年齢などの個人特性および性別のどちらによっても個人事業主の所得の差を説明することができ、所得分布全体ではこれらの重要性は様々である。地域における集積効果は、有意にプラスであり、個人事業主の所得分布の上位において強力である。
