“…On the other hand, unemployment rates differ widely across local labour markets (Bilal 2021 ). Regional wage differentials do not only influence migration decisions of mobile workers, but also affect the bargaining process on local labour markets, leading to differences in vacancies and unemployment as well, depending on transport costs and the elasticity of substitution (vom Berge 2013 ). It is therefore particularly important to control for local unemployment rate.…”

“…Our empirical analysis first relies on multilevel mixed-effects logistic models to model spatial as well as temporal dependencies (Baayen et al 2008 ) across different metropolitan areas. Metropolitan areas reflect local transportation, commuting, and demand patterns (vom Berge 2013 ). We also control for local unemployment rate variations that capture local labour market conditions (Bilal 2021 ).…”

This study focuses on age and digital exposure as factors driving individuals to be (1) employees or entrepreneurs , (2) full-time or part-time , or (3) opportunity or necessity entrepreneurs. It extends occupational choice models, relying on a utility maximization framework, to entrepreneur types incorporating age and digital exposure effects. Using 132 months of Current Population Survey data and multilevel modelling with individuals’ fixed effects and metropolitan area random effects, the study finds that (1) workers with low- and high- digital exposure are more likely to become entrepreneurs than peers with medium digital exposure, mirroring digitization’s “push” and “pull” mechanisms on entrepreneurship; (2) age strengthens digitization’s “pull” mechanism to be entrepreneurs (versus employees ) and opportunity (versus necessity ) entrepreneurs; (3) digital exposure has a weak marginal potential to increase workers’ odds to be part-time (versus full-time ) entrepreneurs. The study also notes the importance of location and concludes with discussion and implications.

“…(), Patuelli et al. (), Chiang (), vom Berge (), Zeilstra and Elhorst () or López‐Bazo and Montellón () are examples of newer studies on this topic based on extensive micro data. Elhorst () emphasizes that the Blanchard‐Katz approach includes the ‘best’ model available so far to model regional labour markets (Blanchard and Katz ).…”
