Abstract

Utilizando la encuesta chilena de datos de Panel CASEN 1996-2001, este trabajo analiza el impacto en los ingresos de trabajadores asalariados que se convierten en empresarios (es decir, trabajadores por cuenta propia y microempresarios). Mediante un estimador de diferencia-en-diferencias combinado con técnicas no paramétricas de matching, este estudio alivia los problemas de sesgo de selección (en rasgos observables y no observables) y crea el contrafactual de interés. Los resultados indican que las ganancias en ingresos asociadas con el cambio de trabajado asalariado a micro-empresariado son positivas, estadísticamente significativas y financieramente sustanciales. Los resultados son cualitativamente similares usando medias y medianas, sugiriendo que los impactos encontrados no son influenciados por la presencia de unos pocos "ganadores súper-estrellas". Adicionalmente, los cambios en ingresos asociados con el cambio en la dirección opuesta (es decir, de auto-empleado a trabajador asalariado) son negativos. Los resultados también sugieren interesantes diferencias de género, donde las mujeres muestran mayores ganancias que los hombres en el cambio de trabajos asalariados a empresariado y menores pérdida en el cambio en dirección opuesta.
