What about survivorship bias? I.e. most entrepreneurs fail, so you get a skewed sample when looking at existing entrepreneurs.
Also while it might be easier to just analyze two categories (incorporated vs. not), really one should break down entrepreneurial ventures into at least three categories:
- self-employed / contractor (from baby sitter to software consultant)
- small business (e.g. restaurant)
- startup (seeking to become large company)
- BenjaminTodd 9y agoThey look at people who switch into entrepreneurship, and then consider the whole sample, so I don't think survivorship bias is a big issue. I agree it would be good to go more fine grained in the categories though.
