摘要：In this paper I assert that the entrepreneurial spirit can also exist in
salaried jobs. I study the determinants of wages and the labor market success of
two kinds of entrepreneurial women in Germany - self-employed and salaried
businesswomen - and investigate whether ethnicity is important in these
challenging jobs. Employing data from the German Socioeconomic Panel I estimate
selection adjusted wage regressions for both types of businesswomen by country
of origin. I find that self-employment offers businesswomen a lucrative avenue
with higher monetary rewards, albeit for a shorter spell. If salaried
businesswomen went into self-employment, they would receive considerably higher
wages and for at least 30 years. However, if self-employed businesswomen went
into salaried jobs, their wages would decline, suggesting that it is the
self-employment sector that offers better opportunities and monetary success.
Self-employed women in Germany fare well and most importantly, success does not
depend on their ethnicity.
