註釋The decision to become an entrepreneur does not only have economic determinants. Using a unique data set of individuals who visited business start-up exhibitions and applying logit and probit techniques we show that entrepreneurial self-perception has a strong impact on entrepreneurial activity (i.e. the propensity as well as the probability to become an entrepreneur). The addition of entrepreneurial self-perception to a conventional set of control variables significantly increases the predictive accuracy of our estimated equations. But contrary to main-stream theory, entrepreneurial self-perception has no specific gender effect. This finding holds true although statistics presented include both cross-section and time-series variation.
