Abstract

Reuschke D. Self-employment as a route in and out of Britain's South East, Regional Studies . Based on A. J. Fielding's Escalator Region Model (ERM) on South East England, this paper examines whether the South East exports its 'entrepreneurial culture' and gains entrepreneurial resources through internal migration using the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS) 1991-2008. Results show that, consistent with the ERM, the region loses entrepreneurs. However, importantly, out-migrants from the South East are more likely to exit subsequently from self-employment relative to other UK internal migrants. Despite its economic functions, the South East is no more likely to attract (would-be) self-employed entrepreneurs than other regions. This calls into question to what extent the South East acts as an 'escalator' in terms of self-employment.
