Notes: The dependent variable is an indicator that takes value 1 if the respondent is self-employed and 0 otherwise. The sample include both employed and non-employed workers. Estimates of a linear probability model reported. Additional controls as in Table 6 and 7 are included (married, presence of children, household size and province controls). Specifications also included a linear trend and a linear trend specific to each region.
Samples: Column (1) includes natives and EaP immigrants, Column (2) includes EaP immigrants and all other immigrants, Column (3) includes EaP migrants and immigrants from the 2004 and 2007 EU Enlargement (see Table 2 for a list of countries).
*, ** , *** Estimate significantly different from zero at the 90%, 95% level, or 99% level.
