The Employment Dynamics of Less-educated Men in the United States: The Role of Self-employment Canadian Journal of Economics 48,1 (February 2015): 110-133. Also: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/caje.12119/abstract Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Canadian Economics Association / Association canadienne d\'economiques Keyword(s): Educational Attainment; Labor Force Participation; Modeling, Logit; Self-Employed Workers Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Using data from the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, I construct a sample of working-age males and examine the employment dynamics with a particular focus on the role of self-employment for less-educated men in the US. I find that men responding they had at some point been self-employed tend to spend less time in non-employment than other less-educated men. The results from the dynamic multinomial logit model reveal positive aspects of self-employment by indicating that less-educated men who were self-employed in the previous year were less likely to be non-employed in the future as compared to those who were paid workers in the previous year. |
