2004年对《德国贸易和手工业法》的修正提供了一个自然的实验，利用德国微型人口普查的横截面数据（2002-2006年），评估这一改革对自营职业和转为自营职业和退出自营职业的概率的因果影响。本研究应用差异中的差异技术在四个职业群体的logit模型。放宽教育入学要求大大促进了不太合格的工匠的自营职业，使其入学概率几乎翻了一番，尽管退出率没有受到影响。对其他职业群体的影响较弱。这些研究结果具有教育要求的法规设计的影响。
The amendment to the German Trade and Crafts Code in 2004 offers a natural experiment to asses the causal effects of this reform on the probabilities of being self-employed and transition into and out of self-employment, using cross-sections (2002-2006) of German microcensus data. This study applies the difference-in-differences technique in logit models for four occupational groups. Easing the educational entry requirement has fostered self-employment significantly for less qualified craftsmen, almost doubling the entry probability, even as exit rates remained unaffected. Weaker effects occur for other occupational groups. These findings have implications for the design of regulations with educational requirements.
