本文报告了时间序列分析的结果，探讨了 1972-92 年期间英国自营职业大幅增长的根本决定因素。主要发现是，自营职业者/工资雇佣收入差异对自营职业者的劳动力比例有很大的积极影响，支持劳动力市场地位的替代工资理论，住房财富也支持信贷配给理论。也许最有趣的特征涉及失业与自营职业之间的关系。在这一点上，作者发现，重要的是失业的持续时间结构，而不仅仅是失业人口的存量。这一证据可能意味着自营职业是某些在就业部门被边缘化并面临长期失业的个人的最后手段。版权所有 1997 Blackwell Publishers Ltd 和曼彻斯特维多利亚大学
This paper reports the findings of a time-series analysis exploring the fundamental determinants of the substantial rise in UK self-employment over the period 1972-92. The key findings are that the self-employed/wage employed income differential has a high and positive effect upon the proportion of the workforce in self-employment, supporting alternative wage theories of labor market status, as does housing wealth, supporting credit rationing theories. Perhaps the most interesting feature concerns the relationship between unemployment and self-employment. On this the authors find that it is the duration structure of unemployment that matters not simply the stock of unemployed people. This evidence may imply that self-employment is a last resort for certain individuals marginalized in the employed sector and facing lengthy spells of unemployment.
