• Migration, entrepreneurship and development: critical questions (2017, background): “This conclusion is supported by the empirical patterns of migrant self-employment in the OECD (OECD 2010) as well as studies from, e.g., Germany which find that it is more likely for less educated migrants to be self-employed than for higher educated migrants (Constant and Zimmermann 2006).”
• Characteristics of migrant entrepreneurship in Europe (2009, methodology): “While individuals are strongly pulled into self-employment if it offers higher earnings, immigrants are additionally pushed into self-employment when they feel discriminated (Constant and Zimmermann, 2006).”
• Individual Determinants of Self-Employment Entry – What Do We Really Know? (2013, unknown): “…and immigrants have different propensities to self-employment (Borjas, 1986; Fairlie and Meyer, 1996; Bates, 1997; Clark and Drinkwater, 2000, 2010; Constant and Zimmermann, 2006; Blume et al., 2009; Andersson and Hammarstedt, 2011; Fritsch et al., 2012); and (ii) why self-employment rates differ…”
• Immigrant entrepreneurship on the move: a longitudinal analysis of first- and second-generation immigrant entrepreneurship in the Netherlands (2013, background): “…of entering into self-employment and raises the developmental prospects of existing firms, because integration enhances the migrants’ abilities to access vital business information and to mobilize the necessary resources (see also Constant and Zimmermann 2006; Evans and Jovanovic, 1989; Le 2000).”
• Immigrant Performance and Selective Immigration Policy: A European Perspective (2005, background): “Self-employment is a channel for integration into the economy (see Constant and Zimmermann, 2005).”
• Native-migrant differences in risk attitudes (2006, background): “Migrants are typically considered to be more risk loving, mobile, talented and entrepreneurial than natives or at least than the population in the home country (Chiswick, 1978; Todaro, 1980; Zimmermann, 1995; Constant and Zimmermann, 2006).”
• Immigrant Self-Employment (2009, background): “Similarly, researchers argue that education and work experience acquired in the host country may be more important for self-employment than for salaried employment (Constant & Zimmermann, 2006; Kloosterman, van der Leun, & Rath, 1999; Le, 2000).”
