我们发现，自营职业率在美国60个民族和种族群体之间存在很大差异。这些差异存在于亚洲人和西班牙裔等群体的广泛组合中，并且在回归控制后几乎一样大，包括年龄，教育，移民身份和在该国的时间。然后，我们提供证据的一些理论的自营职业。一个族裔/种族群体的自营职业率与该群体的平均自营职业和工资/薪金收入之间的差异呈正相关。从自营职业率高的国家移民的族裔/种族群体在美国的自营职业率并不高。最后，我们发现，更多的民族/种族群体，衡量工资/薪金收入，自营职业收入，和非劳动收入，而不是更弱势群体，有最高的自营职业率。
We show that self-employment rates differ substantially across 60 ethnic and racial groups in the United Stares. These differences exist within broad combinations of groups such as Asians and Hispanics, and are almost as great after regression controls, including age, education, immigrant status, and time in the country. We then provide evidence on a number of theories of self-employment. An ethnic/racial group's self-employment rate is positively associated with the difference between average self-employment and wage/salary earnings for that group. Ethnic/racial groups that emigrate from countries with high self-employment rates do not have high self-employment rates in the United Stares. Finally, we find that the more advantaged ethnic/racial groups, measured by wage/salary earnings, self-employment earnings, and unearned income, and not the more disadvantaged groups, have the highest self-employment rates.
