Leaving unemployment for self-employment : an empirical study

The book presents an analysis of the transition from unemployment to self-employment and its subsidisation with the so- called "bridging allowance" in Germany. On the basis of econometric models, the determinants and the success of self- employment among former unemployed are estimated at the individual as well as at the firm level. By comparing different groups of the formerly unemployed, it becomes evident that self-employment is one successful route out of unemployment, as self-employment proves to be more stable than paid-employment. Therefore, the bridging allowance reaches its aim of regaining stable employment for the unemployed. However, this programme fails to create additional employment in the newly founded firms.
