Abstract

The findings with regard to the impact of marital status on female entrepreneurs are ambiguous. Using an extensive individual-level data across countries over six time waves from 1981 to 2014, the article explores the role of a cultural trait—individualism—in affecting the relationship between married females and their self-employment rates. Our results show that for less individualistic societies, married females are 4.3% less likely to be self-employed. For highly individualistic societies, married females are 3.9% less likely to be self-employed. So individualism helps by lessening the magnitude by which the probability for a married female to be self-employed goes down. Identification is established via mitigating omitted variable bias, presenting inverse probability weight estimates and, finally, considering instrumental variable estimates.

女性创业与婚姻：个人主义重要吗？

关于婚姻状况对女性企业家的影响的研究结果并不明确。文章利用1981年至2014年六个时间段内各国的大量个人层面数据，探讨了一种文化特征——个人主义——在影响已婚女性及其自营职业率之间关系中的作用。我们的研究结果表明，在个人主义程度较低的社会中，已婚女性自营职业的可能性要低4.3%。在高度个人主义的社会中，已婚女性自营职业的可能性要低3.9%。因此，个人主义有助于降低已婚女性成为个体经营者的可能性。识别是通过减轻遗漏的变量偏差，提出逆概率权重估计，最后考虑工具变量估计来建立的。JEL分类：L26、O11、Z10

The Editorial Board welcomes articles of current interest on research and application on the areas mentioned above. The Journal will be international in the sense that it seeks research papers from authors with an international reputation and articles that are of interest to an international audience. In pursuit of the above, the journal shall: a. draw on and include high quality work from the international community of scholars including those in the major countries of Asia, Europe, Asia Pacific, the United States, other parts of the Americas and elsewhere with due representation for considerations of the readership. The Journal shall include work representing the major areas of interest in contemporary research on Macroeconomics and Public Finance and on a wide range of issues covering macro- economics, tax and fiscal issues, banking and finance, international trade, labour economics, computational and mathematical methods, etc. The Journal would particularly engage papers on pure and applied economic theory and econometric methods. b. avoid bias in favour of the interests of particular schools or directions of research or particular political or narrow disciplinary objectives to the exclusion of others. c. ensure that articles are written in a terminology and style which makes them intelligible, not merely within the context of a particular discipline or abstract mode, but across the domain of relevant disciplines.
