Gender and Business Outcomes of Black and Hispanic New Entrepreneurs in the United States
利用2007年企业主调查的公共微观数据，研究发现美国黑人和西班牙裔女性新创企业比男性或非西班牙裔白人更易停业，即使控制其他因素，这质疑了现有扶持政策的有效性。
In light of the growing numbers of women of color in the entrepreneurial sector in the United States, employing public-use microdata from the 2007 Survey of Business Owners, this study finds that new firms owned by black and Hispanic women were more likely to cease operations than those owned by their male counterparts or by non-Hispanic whites, even when controlling for other owner- and firm-level characteristics and labor market conditions. These differences occurred despite the existence of public programs designed to help female and minority entrepreneurs, raising the question of efficiency of the current policy infrastructure in the United States.
