President George W. Bush promoted his economic plan by pointing to its encouragement of entrepreneurship. Yet, despite its importance, the topic of entrepreneurship is underrepresented in the economics literature. The contributors to Public Policy and the Economics of Entrepreneurship examine different aspects of entrepreneurship and its relation to public policy to help us reach a better understanding of the economic role of entrepreneurs.The contributors, all prominent economists, first consider what policies effectively encourage entrepreneurship, discussing a possible role for government in venture capital markets, the effect of the tax code's subsidy of health insurance for the self-employed, and the impact of banking deregulation on entrepreneurial activity. Two contributors then examine entrepreneurship in "unexpected places"--not small businesses, but large pharmaceutical firms and nonprofit organizations. The final essays explore the effect of entrepreneurship on inequality, looking at statistical evidence of upward mobility for self-employed blacks and Hispanics and discussing the effect on entrepreneurial activity of policies to reduce wealth inequality. The contributors hope, by offering a rigorous economic examination of entrepreneurship, to foster better public policies that encourage and support entrepreneurial activity. 001385944 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 001385944 650_0 $$aEntrepreneurship$$vCongresses. 001385944 650_0 $$aEntrepreneurship$$xGovernment policy$$zUnited States. 001385944 650_0 $$aSmall business$$xGovernment policy$$zUnited States. 001385944 650_0 $$aIncome distribution$$zUnited States. 001385944 653__ $$aECONOMICS/General 001385944 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001385944 7001_ $$aHoltz-Eakin, Douglas. 001385944 7001_ $$aRosen, Harvey S. 001385944 852__ $$bebk 001385944 85640 $$3MIT Press$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/5694.001.0001?locatt=mode:legacy$$zOnline Access through The MIT Press Direct 001385944 85642 $$3OCLC metadata license agreement$$uhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf 001385944 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1385944$$pGLOBAL_SET 001385944 980__ $$aBIB 001385944 980__ $$aEBOOK 001385944 982__ $$aEbook 001385944 983__ $$aOnline
