Persistence and change in interregional differences in entrepreneurship: England and Wales, 1921–2011
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-09, 04:09 authored by Gergios Fotopoulos, David StoreyThe paper explores time-persistence in interregional differences of self-employment rates in England and Wales in the 1921–2011 period by using census data. The results suggest a strong path-dependence in entrepreneurship as past self-employment rates have strong bearing on future ones. However, there is also some rank mobility reflected in the upward movements of London boroughs and downward movements of primarily coastal areas. Rank mobility relates to structural changes, changes in human capital, regional age structures and immigration.
