Self-Employment vs Wage Employment: Estimation of Earnings Functions in LDCs.

Soon, Lee-Ying

Economics of Education Review, v6 n2 p81-89 1987

Incorporates occupational choice into a model of wage determination and self-employment activities. The self-selection model stresses managerial ability and capital market imperfections in determining an individual's choice between wage and self-employment. Results show different earning structures and partly confirm the human capital model. Includes three tables and 20 references. (MLH)
