Self–Employment and Windfall Gains in Britain: Evidence from Panel Data
Open accessAbstract
Liquidity constraints can prohibit potential entrepreneurs from starting up in business, can restrict the growth of existing entrepreneurial activities and, in the extreme, can result in small business failure. This paper uses British panel data to investigate the effects of relaxing liquidity constraints on self–employment through the unanticipated receipt of windfall gains. It discusses the different impacts the receipt of a windfall payment may have on self–employment. The results suggest that the size of the payment received has a positive and concave effect on the probability of entering self–employment and on the performance of an existing self–employment enterprise, consistent with the liquidity constraint hypothesis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
