The Return-to-Entrepreneurship Puzzle

2013

The returns to entrepreneurship are monetary and non-monetary. We offer new evidence on these returns using a large sample of genetically identical male twins. Our within-twin analysis suggests that OLS estimates are downwards, and traditional first-differenced panel data estimates upwards biased. We find no differences in the earnings of men with either low or high education. Our within-twin analysis of non-monetary returns shows that entrepreneurs with low education work longer hours and have greater responsibilities, but also face a reduced risk of divorce and less monotonous work tasks. The same does not apply to highly educated entrepreneurs.

Le niveau de compétences de base peut-il expliquer le déclassement ou le surclassement sur le marché du travail ?

2013

Documents de travail de l'IREDU, n°2013-3; Cet article porte sur le lien entre le déclassement et le surclassement sur le marché du travail et les compétences de base qu'ont pu acquérir les individus au cours de leurs parcours scolaire et professionnel. En observant une certaine hétérogénéité des compétences de base par niveau de diplôme, nous faisons l'hypothèse que ces différences peuvent expliquer les situations de déclassement ou de surclassement. Nos travaux, à partir des données de l'enquête nationale " Information et Vie Quotidienne " (2004), montrent effectivement que les situations de déclassement (surclassement), pour un même niveau de diplôme, peuvent résulter d'un plus faible (f…

Educational intentions, cognitive skills and earnings expectations of French undergraduates

2014

International audience; This article aims to study the earnings expectations of first-year students at a French university. Our findings highlight the importance of the environment in which students make their choices about education. Expected earnings are proportionally higher when their parents seem to be involved in the careers guidance, taking into account the effect of parental socio-economic status. The positive opinion of parents about the orientation or the connection between the discipline and the father's occupation are generally associated with higher earnings. In addition, our results show a strong impact of cognitive variables which are far more significant than variables relat…
