Self-employment may represent a significant proportion of total employment in many countries, and the intergenerational correlation of self-employment has been used as an explanatory factor, although findings differ across countries, methods, and strategies. Using data from the European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC), we analyze the existence of intergenerational correlations of self-employment in nine European countries, using information on the current self-employment status of respondents, and that of their parents when the respondents were 14 years old. We show that this correlation is statistically significant in general terms. Furthermore, the transmission is especially important between fathers and sons. We also contribute reporting differences in these correlations across countries. The transmission is partially explained by a country's legal context for self-employment, and by its entrepreneurial culture, with the former being more important than the latter. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S32-20R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PID2019-108348RA-I00 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 4.7 2022 ECONOMICS 64 / 380 = 0.168 2022 Q1 T1 1.303 2022 Economics and Econometrics 2022 Q1 6.6 2022 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Molina, José Alberto Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-9437-4606 Velilla, Jorge Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-0553-6360 4000 415 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
