Why Do Individuals Choose Self-Employment? (2009, methodology): “Taylor (1996), using UK data from 1991 found that self-employed Britons were less likely then those in paid-employment to regard pay and security as important job criteria, but were more likely to cite enjoyment and work satisfaction then their paid-employment counterparts.”
The impact of a necessity-based start-up on subsequent entrepreneurial satisfaction (2010, background): “Taylor (1996) sees that working on one’s own initiative and enjoying the work itself are more important aspects of entrepreneurial satisfaction than income as such.”
Individual Determinants of Self-Employment Entry – What Do We Really Know? (2013, neutral): “Examples of this evidence include, for instance, Taylor (1996), Lin et al. (2000), Taniguchi (2002), Karoly and Zissimopoulos (2004), Pisani and Pagán (2004), Brown et al. (2011a), Özcan (2011), and Poschke (2013).”
One size does not fit all: Entrepreneurial expectancies and growth intentions of US women and men nascent entrepreneurs (2012, background): “…leads to an increase in outside alternatives (e.g. high-paid, high-status waged employment, etc.) and thus for every small business ‘outcome’ entrepreneurs might achieve, there is a substantial opportunity cost on income and psychological levels (for a more detailed discussion, see Taylor 1996).”
Entrepreneurship and the determinants of firm survival within regions: human capital, growth motivation and locational conditions (2017, background): “…peripheral regional economies, one group of entrepreneurs that often attract considerable attention from the media, policymakers and academia are those entering from unemployment (Taylor 1996; Kosanovich et al. 2001; Kelly, Mulvey, and Lewis 2002; Blanchflower 2004; Santarelli and Vivarelli 2007).”
Gender and field of study as determinants of self-employment (2010, background): “With respect to the effects of the labour market situation on entrepreneurship, most evidence suggests that SE becomes a more appealing option when unemployment is on the rise: According to the recession-push theory, bad or worsening perspectives •in wage employment push workers towards SE (Taylor 1”
Entrepreneurial exit and entrepreneurial engagement (2011, background): “Some industries are more supportive of new venture creation than others (Blanchflower and Meyer 1994; Taylor 1996; Lin et al. 2000).”
Dispositional Positive and Negative Affect and Self-Employment Transitions: The Mediating Role of Job Satisfaction (2019, result): “employment is consistent with an extensive literature (e.g., Amit et al., 1995; Burke et al., 2002; Evans & Leighton, 1989; Parker, 2004; Taylor, 1996; Van Praag & Cramer, 2001).”
Shadow economies all over the world : new estimates for 162 countries from 1999 to 2007 (2010, methodology): “33 The estimation of such a currency demand equation has been criticized by Thomas (1999) but part of this criticism has been considered by the work of Giles (1999a,b) and Bhattacharyya (1999), who both use the latest econometric techniques.”
Opportunity recognition and the tendency to be an entrepreneur: A bivariate genetics perspective (2009, background): “� Self-employment, (Amit, Muller, & Cockburn, 1995; Burke et al., 2000; Evans & Leighton, 1989; Parker, 2004; Taylor, 1996; Van Praag & Cramer, 2001; Sorenson, 2007), which we operationalize with the question: ‘‘in your working life, how long have you been self-employed?” � Starting a new business”
