Using Self-employment as Proxy for Entrepreneurship : Some Empirical Caveats
- 2010
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Research on entrepreneurship has received an increased amount of interest inrecent years, with self-employment being used as the most common proxy for“entrepreneurship” in empirical studies. However, there are various ways of defining selfemployment,making it a somewhat dubious proxy. This may flaw the analysis, especially incross-country studies, since the documentation of data often is insufficient and difficult toaccess due to language barriers. We present an analysis of Swedish self-employment data. Weshow that the measurement of self-employment has changed over time to noticeably affect thereported number of self-employed in the two major statistical sources on self-employment.The reported development of self-employment sometimes differs diametrically depending onsource. Sweden is occasionally erroneously reported to show the largest increase in self-employment in cross-country studies. Our study mimics the results of other country-specificanalyses and we conclude that well-grounded conclusions require that the advantages anddisadvantages of different statistical sources are recognized.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Self–employment is the most frequently used measure of entrepreneurship. However, its definition varies between countries, which makes comparisons difficult. We present an analysis of Swedish self–employment data and show that even within one country, the depicted development differs greatly depending on the source used. Unlike previous claims in cross–country studies, we find that there is no basis for categorising Sweden as having increased its self–employment rate more than others. This demonstrates a need to carefully specify the characteristics of the data, and their advantages and disadvantages, before drawing conclusions about the frequency of entrepreneurship in different countries.

Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- The 2020 Global Award for Entrepreneurship Research has been awarded to Professor John Haltiwanger. John Haltiwanger has made significant contributions to the field of entrepreneurship by improving our understanding of job creation and destruction, productivity growth, and the role of small- and medium-sized firms (SMEs) in economic development. He has played a major role in the careful development of large, longitudinal firm-level datasets, and introduced a novel and widely adopted measure of firm growth that addresses previous statistical biases. His work has influenced public policy and national statistical offices around the world. Plain English Summary The winner of the 2020 Global Award for Entrepreneurship Research, John Haltiwanger, has pioneered research showing that it is mainly firm age, not size, that matters for job creation. Through analyzing the relationship between employment, growth, and firms, he has advanced our understanding of how the economy works. He has done this by building new datasets and introducing a new measure of firm growth, solving problems encountered with earlier techniques. His work has also broadened the policy debate on entrepreneurship and inspired people all around the world. From a policy perspective, John Haltiwanger has shown that it is difficult to justify targeted industrial and commercial policies, and if job creation is to be supported, politicians need to target young firms rather than small firms. These important findings from John Haltiwanger's pioneering work have been published in world-class leading academic and scientific journals.

A 150-year Perspective on Swedish Capital Income Taxation
- 2014
-
Rapport (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper describes the evolution of capital income taxation, including corporate, dividend, interest, capital gains and wealth taxation, in Sweden between 1862 and 2010. To illustrate the evolution, we present annual time-series data on the marginal effective tax rates on capital income (METR) for a marginal investment financed with new share issues, retained earnings or debt. Tax tables covering the period are presented. These data are unique in their consistency, thoroughness and time span covered. The METR is low, is stable and does not exceed five percent until World War I, when it starts to drift somewhat upward and vary depending on the source of finance. The outbreak of World War II starts a period when the magnitude and variation of the METR sharply increases. The METR peaks during the 1970s and 1980s and often exceeds 100 percent. The 1990–1991 tax reform and lower inflation reduce the magnitude and variation of the METR. The METR varies between 15 and 40 percent at the end of the examined period.

Swedish Labor Income Taxation (1862–2013)
- 2013
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This paper presents annual Swedish time-series data on the top marginal tax wedgeand marginal tax wedges on labor income for a low-, average- and high-income earners forthe period 1862 to 2013. The tax wedges were initially low and the tax system proportional.The tax wedges began to increase during World War I. The increase accelerated during WorldWar II and through the post-war period. In the 1970s, the top marginal tax wedge wasoccasionally as high as 90 percent. The main explanations for this development weretemporary crises that led to permanent tax increases, the expansion of the public sector anddistributional ambitions, bracket creep and the introduction of employer-paid social securitycontributions. The 1990–1991 tax reform represents the beginning of a new and continuingperiod of decreasing marginal tax wedges.
