Stars and Misfits: Self-Employment and Labor Market Frictions
Recent evidence has shown that entrants into self-employment are disproportionately drawn from the tails of the earnings and ability distributions. This observation is explained by a multi-task model of occupational choice in which frictions in the labor market induces mismatches between firms and workers, and mis-assignment of workers to tasks. The model also yields distinctive predictions rel...

In search for important determinants of these transitions, six EU...
