- W1541005932 abstract "This dissertation constructs and studies a tractable, dynamic model of occupational choice with life-cycle savings to investigate theimportance of poverty traps and the welfare cost of borrowing constraints forindividuals choosing occupations to maximize their income. The model containsfour parts: occupational choice between wage earner and entrepreneur, borrowingconstraints, standard inter-temporal preferences, and heterogeneity in wealthand talent. The first of two sections examines the interaction between individual savings and the decision to become an entrepreneur, since more able entrepreneurs are less likely to be in a poverty trap. When compared with U.S.data (drawn from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, Survey of Consumer Finances, and Consumer Expenditure Survey), the model provided limited supportfor predictions about savings rates, consumption growth, and the transition to entrepreneurship. The model shows that the importance of poverty traps and the welfare cost of borrowing constraints are significant. A well-defined transition of individuals from wage earners to entrepreneurs is generated. The probability of a personbecoming an entrepreneur as a function of wealth increases for low levels ofwealth and decreases for higher levels of wealth. The second section studies testable implications of a general model ofoccupational choice proposed by Heckman and Honore, in relation to choice of entrepreneurship. The model allows functions characterizing the income of different occupations and proves identification using weaker exclusion restrictions. The model is shown to have testable implications.
