The Impact of Minimum Wages on Labour Market Transitions (2013, methodology): “An Adjusted Mortensen–Pissarides Model In this subsection, we present a Mortensen–Pissarides model with V 6¼ 0 by introducing firm heterogeneity in the cost of opening vacancies, as in Fonseca et al. (2001) and Beaudry et al. (2011).”
Gender and field of study as determinants of self-employment (2010, background): “For instance, Fonseca et al. (2001) show that start-up costs influence the SE rate across OECD countries.”
Return migrants: The rise of new entrepreneurs in rural China (2010, background): “…considers the decision to enter entrepreneurship as an individual occupational choice, which is based on the comparison of expected payoffs between becoming an entrepreneur or a wage-worker (Kihlstrom & Laffont, 1979; Evans & Leighton, 1989; Evans & Jovanovic, 1989; Fonseca et al., 2001).”
Institutions and Venture Capital (2013, background): “Gentry and Hubbard (2000) show that a progressive income taxation reduces entrepreneurial entry, as increased progressivity acts as a “success tax” that taxes successful ventures at high rates.”

Financial Constraints and Small and Medium Enterprises: A Review* (2020, background): “Fonseca et al.

Job creation and job destruction in the presence of informal labour markets (2012, background): “Formal jobs are destroyed if the productivity shock is lower than D; whereas informal jobs are destroyed if the productivity shock is smaller than W: Using (14) to (19) and the bargaining solution, equation (10), I can derive the wage functions for each of the three types of matches, equations (20) ”
Female Entrepreneurship, Agglomeration, and a New Spatial Mismatch (2012, background): “See Fonseca, Lopez-Garcia, and Pissarides (2001) for a model of vertically differentiated agents who choose between becoming an entrepreneur or a worker on the basis of their individual talents and the startup costs of becoming an entrepreneur.”
Does corruption ever help entrepreneurship? (2016, neutral): “In the context of entrepreneurship, Fonseca et al. (2001) find that the higher start-up costs hamper entrepreneurial initiatives and, thus, affect job creation negatively.”
