Abstract

Este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar cuáles son las características y competencias de los individuos que influyen en la probabilidad de emprender en Chile. Para ello, utilizando la Encuesta de Protección Social de los años 2006 y 2009 se estiman dos modelos, uno estático que utiliza información de corte transversal y uno retrospectivo que incluye controles relacionados con la historia de los individuos. Una de las particularidades del presente trabajo es que estudia si el conocimiento sobre el sistema financiero, determina la probabilidad de emprender. Para identificar su efecto dada su endogeneidad, los modelos son estimados utilizando el método de Variables Instrumentales. Además, se controla por variables de aversión al riesgo, percepción sobre capacidades individuales y diversificación de los sectores económicos en que se ha trabajado. Los resultados indican que la experiencia en el mercado laboral y el grado de aversión al riesgo son variables significativas al explicar emprendimiento. En efecto, haber trabajado en una micro-empresa, contar con un mayor número de emprendimientos realizados, y tener un bajo nivel de aversión al riesgo, induce mayor probabilidad de emprender.
