Abstract
We examine the origins and outcome of entrepreneurship on the basis of exceptionally

comprehensive Norwegian matched worker-firm-owner data. In contrast to most existing

studies, our notion of entrepreneurship not only comprises self-employment, but also employment

in partly self-owned limited liability firms. Based on this extended entrepreneurship

concept, we find that entrepreneurship tends to be profitable. It also raises income

uncertainty, but the most successful quartile gains much more than the least successful

quartile loses. Key determinants of the decision to become an entrepreneur are

occupational qualifications, family resources, gender, and work environments. Individual

unemployment encourages, while aggregate unemployment discourages entrepreneurship.
