On Preferences for Being Self-Employed

Nicola Fuchs-Schuendeln

No 634, 2008 Meeting Papers from Society for Economic Dynamics

Abstract: higher job satisfaction than the employed, even after controlling for income and hours worked. However, there is a large amount of heterogeneity in this effect: while “independent types” experience a large increase in job satisfaction from being self-employed, “hierarchical types” even experience a decrease.
