Abstract

This article examines some institutional‐political explanations for the revival of self‐employment in seventeen OECD countries since the 1970s. The empirical analysis suggests that cross‐country differences in the self‐employment rate are partly explained by the generosity of unemployment insurance schemes, left party strength, the size of the state sector, as well as general economic conditions.
