You can't be what you can't see: The role of gender in the intergenerational transmission of entrepreneurship
利用欧洲健康、老龄化和退休调查数据，发现父亲创业对女儿创业选择的影响仅在性别差距大的国家低于儿子，而母亲创业的影响则仅对女儿为正，且随时间推移代际传递趋于性别平等。
Abstract In this paper, we investigate how the intergenerational transmission of entrepreneurship varies between sons and daughters and whether such a process depends on living in a country characterized by a high gender gap. Using the Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe data set, we find that the effect on daughters' entrepreneurial choices of having an entrepreneur as father is lower than the one on sons only in countries with a high gender gap. Moreover, it is just in countries with high gender inequality that the effect of having an entrepreneurial mother is different between sons and daughters, with the impact being positive for daughters only. We also develop an individual‐level indicator of gender gap within countries that corroborates our findings, which we interpret as evidence of the presence of a role‐modeling mechanism. However, we find evidence of convergence across time of the intergenerational transmission process to the gender‐independent transfer typical of more gender‐equal countries.
