Troubled Teens Make More Successful Entrepreneurs Smart, rule-abiding teenagers are less likely to become successful entrepreneurs than equally intelligent teens who engage in illicit activities, according to new research. 新近的研究发现,与头脑机灵但常参与违法活动的青少年相比,那些同样聪明却循规蹈矩的青少年成为成功企业家的可能性更小一些。 In a working paper published by the National Bureau of Economic Research, economists Ross Levine and Yona Rubinstein examine what it takes to become an entrepreneur and whether entrepreneurship pays off in terms of wages. Using data from the March Supplements of the U.S. Census Bureau's Current Population Survey and the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, they look at the cognitive, noncognitive and family traits of self-employed individuals who have incorporated businesses and compare it to the characteristics of salaried workers and the self-employed who don't have incorporated businesses. 在美国国家经济研究局(National Bureau of Economic Research)出版的一份工作论文当中,经济学家罗斯·列文(Ross Levine)与尤纳·鲁宾斯坦(Yona Rubinstein)研究了成为一名企业家的必要条件以及创业精神会否在薪酬上给创业者带来回报的问题。利用美国人口普查局当期人口调查(U.S. Census Bureau's Current Population Survey)《三月附录》(March Supplements)中的数据,两位经济学家梳理了那些拥有公司的个体经营者的认知素质、非认知素质及其家庭特征,并将他们与领薪水的工人和没有公司的个体户进行了比较。 |
