Graph of the probability of ever being an entrepreneur by gender of peers. Women are significantly underrepresented in entrepreneurship in all OECD countries, with implications not only for gender equality but also for aggregate productivity. This column uses Danish data covering nearly 800,000 individuals to demonstrate that early exposure to entrepreneurship increases the likelihood that women become entrepreneurs later in life. Moreover, the women who follow entrepreneurial pursuits due to early exposure create highly successful firms in terms both of size and survival. This is consistent with a misallocation of entrepreneurial talent, suggesting that entry and operational barriers prevent even women with suitable abilities from entering and succeeding in entrepreneurial professions.
Early exposure to #entrepreneurship increases the likelihood that women become entrepreneurs later in life. Women who follow entrepreneurial pursuits due to early exposure create highly successful firms.

Hvem får fat i storbyens billige andelsboliger?
Vores forsker, @mikkelmertz.bsky.social, har besøgt ABF for at uddybe studiet, der viser, at andelsboliger i København og på Frederiksberg ofte går til beboernes familiemedlemmer.

Fascinating finding in this new JOLE paper:
A new meausure of parental lifetime wealth correlates highly with parental schooling and consistently so throughout childhood.
Parental schooling is perhaps a better proxy of 'permanent' family resources than many would've thought?

Vigtige forskningsresultater føles tit indlysende, når først de er præsenteret. Det svære er at få ideen, finde data og lave alt arbejdet. @mikkelmertz.bsky.social har fået en rigtig god ide og lavet en spændende analyse, der viser en stærk sammenhæng mellem ”penge mellem hænderne” og kriminalitet.
