  abstract: As self-employment increases as a percentage of the work
  abstract: force, so grows the interest in understanding the
  abstract: characteristics and labor market behavior of these workers.
  abstract: This study investigates the historical trends in the
  abstract: composition of the self-employed, the determinants of an
  abstract: individual's choice to enter self-employment, and examines
  abstract: state to state variations in self-employment rates. Its
  abstract: primary findings are that variations in the self-employment
  abstract: rate among men are closely associated with changes in the
  abstract: demographic and industrial composition of the male work
  abstract: force. Among women, self-employment has grown consistently
  abstract: over the last fifteen years and the growth is occurring
  abstract: within groups. The source of the growth in the female self-
  abstract: employment rate is therefore more difficult to pinpoint than
  abstract: is the source of the variations in the rate among men, but
  abstract: analysis at the individual level indicates the female self-
  abstract: employment rate is closely tied to family composition. At
  abstract: the individual level, a worker's decision to enter self-
  abstract: employment is a function of relative wages in the wage and
  abstract: salary and self-employment sectors and the worker's
  abstract: preferences of leisure. A team forming model is proposed
  abstract: that shows that workers who prefer either low or high hours
  abstract: are least likely to be chosen as teammates and are therefore
  abstract: most likely to enter self-employment. The empirical evidence
  abstract: is consistent with the intuition of the model. Self-
  abstract: employment rates are highest among workers who report either
  abstract: low or high hours even after controlling for observable labor
  abstract: supply parameters.
