This evidence is in line with predictions from occupational choice models, where the equilibrium average size of firms increases with lower internal costs of growth, when social capital supported trust reduces these costs facilitating the delegation of decision power in firms. We also find that the influence of social capital in self-employed rates differs if the self-employed have employees or not so entrepreneurs should be treated as a heterogeneous group. 000084183 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/CREVALOR$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/ECO2013-48496-C4-3-R 000084183 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aAll rights reserved$$uhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 000084183 590__ $$a0.43$$b2018 000084183 591__ $$aECONOMICS$$b333 / 363 = 0.917$$c2018$$dQ4$$eT3 000084183 592__ $$a0.305$$b2018 000084183 593__ $$aEconomics and Econometrics$$c2018$$dQ3 000084183 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 000084183 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-2945-9141$$aSanchez-Asin, J.J.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000084183 7102_ $$14012$$2650$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
