The Effect of Ability on Young Men's Self‐Employment Decision: Evidence from the NELS

Abstract

Using the National Educational Longitudinal Study data, we examine the role of pre‐market abilities on young men's self‐employment decision. Our results indicate that cognitive and non‐cognitive abilities are two important, in opposing directions, predictors of self‐employment. We also find that cognitive and non‐cognitive abilities may differ in their malleability with the latter being more malleable during adolescence.
