Habitual entrepreneurs in the making: how labour market rigidity and employment affects entrepreneurial re-entry
研究了29个欧洲国家劳动力市场法规对有经验的创业者再进入创业(成为习惯性创业者)的影响,发现法规有正向作用,且对在职者影响更强。
We investigate the impact of country-level labour market regulations on the re-entry decision of experienced entrepreneurs, whereby they become habitual entrepreneurs. Multilevel logit models on entry decisions among 15,709 individuals in 29 European countries show that labour market regulations have a positive influence on the decision to re-enter into entrepreneurship. This positive impact is stronger among individuals holding wage jobs at the time of re-entry compared to those that do not. Our results indicate that novice and habitual entrepreneurs may respond very differently to labour market rigidity. We discuss and provide tentative explanations for these differences and outline potential policy implications.
