We find new empirical regularities in the business cycle a cross-country panel of 22 OECD countries for period 1972 to 2007; entrepreneurship Granger-causes cycles world economy. Furthermore, entrepreneurial is positively affected by national unemployment cycle. discuss possible causes and implications these findings.
Entrepreneurs differ in the degree and type of novelty that they introduce to economy. This study provides theoretical insights empirical evidence on emergence entrepreneurial innovativeness. The results suggest innovativeness depends both individual factors environment which acts. In particular, high educational attainment, unemployment, a self-confidence are significantly associated with at level. Furthermore, distribution innovative imitative entrepreneurship varies across countries....
Abstract Using data from representative population surveys in 17 countries, we find that the lower rate of female business ownership is primarily due to women's propensity start businesses rather than differences survival rates across genders. We show women are less confident their entrepreneurial skills, have different social networks and exhibit higher fear failure men. After controlling for endogeneity, these variables explain a substantial part gender gap activity. Although, course,...
SUMMARY We study a unique sample of 1,547 nascent entrepreneurs in Germany and analyze which factors are associated with their self‐reported satisfaction regarding start‐up. Our identifies new facet procedural utility offers insights about the motivations goals entrepreneurs. Most importantly, we identify group that ‘cannot get satisfaction’ start‐up—not because start‐up fails to deliver financial returns, but they did not choose become first place. This unsatisfied includes individuals...
Preferences are fundamental building blocks in all models of economic and political behavior. We study a new sample comprehensively genotyped subjects with data on preferences educational attainment. use dense single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) to estimate the proportion variation these traits explained by common SNPs conduct genome-wide association (GWAS) prediction analyses. The pattern results is consistent findings for other complex traits. First, estimated fraction phenotypic that...
Estimates from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of unrelated individuals capture effects inherited variation (direct effects), demography (population stratification, assortative mating) and relatives (indirect genetic effects). Family-based GWAS designs can control for demographic indirect effects, but large-scale family datasets have been lacking. We combined data 178,086 siblings 19 cohorts to generate population (between-family) within-sibship (within-family) estimates 25...
Abstract Humans survive and thrive through social exchange. Yet, dependency also comes at a cost. Perceived isolation, or loneliness, affects physical mental health, cognitive performance, overall life expectancy, increases vulnerability to Alzheimer’s disease-related dementias. Despite severe consequences on behavior the neural basis of loneliness remains elusive. Using UK Biobank population imaging-genetics cohort ( n = ~40,000, aged 40–69 years when recruited, mean age 54.9), we test for...
Abstract Heavy alcohol consumption has been associated with brain atrophy, neuronal loss, and poorer white matter fiber integrity. However, there is conflicting evidence on whether light-to-moderate shows similar negative associations structure. To address this, we examine the between intake structure using multimodal imaging data from 36,678 generally healthy middle-aged older adults UK Biobank, controlling for numerous potential confounds. Consistent prior literature, find macrostructure...
Understanding which biological pathways are specific versus general across diagnostic categories and levels of symptom severity is critical to improving nosology treatment psychopathology. Here, we combine transdiagnostic dimensional approaches genetic discovery for the first time, conducting a novel multivariate genome-wide association study eight psychiatric symptoms disorders broadly related mood disturbance psychosis. We identify two liabilities that distinguish between common forms...
Abstract We conducted a genome-wide association study on income among individuals of European descent ( N = 668,288) to investigate the relationship between socio-economic status and health disparities. identified 162 genomic loci associated with common genetic factor underlying various measures, all small effect sizes (the Income Factor). Our polygenic index captures 1–5% variance, only one fourth due direct effects. A phenome-wide using this showed reduced risks for diseases including...
The costs of comprehensively genotyping human subjects have fallen to the point where major funding bodies, even in social sciences, are beginning incorporate genetic and biological markers into surveys. How, if at all, should economists use combine molecular economic data from these surveys? What challenges arise when analyzing genetically informative data? To illustrate, we present results a “genome-wide association study” educational attainment. We sample 7,500 individuals Framingham...
Abstract We conducted genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of relative intake from the macronutrients fat, protein, carbohydrates, and sugar in over 235,000 individuals European ancestries. identified 21 unique, approximately independent lead SNPs. Fourteen SNPs are uniquely associated with one macronutrient at significance ( P < 5 × 10 −8 ), while five reach suggestive 1 −5 ) for least other macronutrient. While phenotypes genetically correlated, each phenotype carries a partially...
