本文利用英国家庭调查的数据，研究了英国自雇的持续时间。结果表明，自1991年以来，40%的自营职业企业在经营的第一年就失败了。有证据表明，很大一部分自营职业者不是通过破产而终止的，而是通过转向其他就业而终止的。就自营职业生存而言，最适合的是那些以前没有失业经历但有一些工作经验的人，他们辞去了以前的工作，并以一些初始资本进入自营职业。
This paper uses data from the British Household Panel Survey to investigate the duration of self-employment spells in Britain. The results suggest that 40 percent of self-employment ventures started since 1991 have not survived their first year in business. Evidence is produced showing that a substantial proportion of self-employment spells are not terminated through bankruptcy but through moves to alternative employment. The fittest, in terms of self-employment survival, are those with no previous unemployment experience but with some work experience, who quit their previous job, and who entered self-employment with some initial capital.
