Self‐employment and Liquidity Constraints: Evidence from Finland

Author

  • Edvard Johansson

Abstract

Using a large Finnish micro data set, I study how wealth influences the decision to become self‐employed. The main result is that personal wealth increases the probability of a person becoming self‐employed. This suggests the presence of liquidity constraints. JEL classification: J23; M13
