    Entrepreneurship, Windfall Gains and Financial Constraints: Evidence from Germany

    We investigate the link between the propensity to become an entrepreneur and the exogenous release from financial constraints in Germany. This is defined in terms of the movement from employment to self-employment on receipt of a financial windfall. A theoretical framework developing Evans and Jovanovic (1989) is set up and tested with panel data from German households. The results show that financial ...

    Does Quality Make a Difference? Employment Effects of High- and Low-Quality Start-Ups

    Post-Socialist Culture and Entrepreneurship

For this purpose Kirzner's theory of costless entrepreneurship is reviewed and criticized.

    Twenty-Nine Women to 906 Men : Continuing Gender Inequality on the Boards of Germany's Top Companies

    The executive boards1 of Germany's 200 largest companies are still almost all male. In 2010, women occupied only 3.2% of all board seats. This negligible percentage is even lower in the top 100 and DAX30 companies, which are only 2.2% female, despite a voluntary commitment dating back to 2001, in which companies promised to give more women access to senior positions. A similar, although less extreme ...

    A Squandered Opportunity: Even after the Financial Crisis, Top Positions in Large Financial Firms Still Largely Occupied by Men

    Despite the recent financial crisis and widespread mergers in the banking industry, the German financial sector remains largely unchanged in one respect: the percentage of women on the corporate boards of Germany's banks and insurance companies was nearly as low in 2010 as in the pre-crisis years. As a result, German companies have left the potential for innovation that has been shown to accompany ...

    Selbständige sind anders: Persönlichkeit beeinflusst unternehmerisches Handeln

    Gut ein Zehntel aller Erwerbstätigen in Deutschland ist selbständig, und nur eine von hundert Erwerbspersonen wagt jedes Jahr den Schritt in die Selbständigkeit. Klassische Faktoren wie Bildung, Berufserfahrung und elterliche Prägung greifen zur Erklärung des Phänomens "Selbständigkeit" zu kurz. Selbständige sind offener für Erfahrungen, extrovertierter und risikofreudiger als Angestellte, und sie ...
