Continuing the Family-Owned Home-Based Business: Evidence from a Panel Study
基于面板数据，分析家庭企业三年后仍在运营的概率及退出原因，发现企业主年龄、教育、经营年限、工作积极感受和预期态度变化是关键因素，而收入无关。
A panel study of households in which someone is engaged in a home-based family business is analyzed to assess factors associated with the probability that the business will be operating three years later and reasons for quitting the business. Factors associated with the continuation of the business include age and education of the business owner, the number of years in business, positive feelings about the work, and expectations about changing attitudes toward the business. Neither income nor attitudes about income from the home-based work were significant predictors of the owner having the same business three years later.
