Job Creation and Job Types
This booklet extends earlier analyses of the job creation of start-ups vs. established firms by taking into consideration the educational content of the jobs created and destroyed. It defines education-specific measures of job creation and job destruction at the firm level, and it uses these to construct a measure of "surplus job creation" defined as jobs created on top of any simultaneous destruction of similar jobs in incumbent firms in the same region and industry. Using Danish employer-employee data from 2002 to 2007, which identifies the start-ups and which covers almost the entire private sector, these measures provide a more nuanced assessment of the role of entrepreneurial firms in t...
Introduction to the Project
In this booklet, a short introduction to the Danish project "Employment Effects of Entrepreneurs" is presented. It explains the purpose of the project and then briefly describes the three papers that constitute the output of the project. It also discusses the results established in the project.

Entrepreneurs Versus Incumbents
What are the characteristics of jobs in entrepreneurial firms as compared to jobs in incumbent firms? Even though this question has been addressed by many researchers before, this study - based on research conducted in Denmark - provides new evidence to the field by examining the entrepreneur as the organic new firm. The majority of studies have focused on entrepreneurs as measured by small or new firms. Organic new firms are defined here as new firms that are not the result of restructurings or organizing existing or additional activities in a formally new firm. Moreover, the book considers entrepreneurial firms by different types and distinguishes between growing and declining industry-reg...
Job Quality by Entrepreneurial Spinoffs
This Danish study looks at whether entrepreneurial spinoffs are important drivers of industry dynamics. More precisely, the booklet investigates whether the quality of jobs in spinoff entrepreneurs are higher than for other entrepreneurs. It distinguishes spinoff firms by different types and differentiates between growing and declining industry-region clusters. It finds that spinoffs on average have higher wages, are more skill intensive, have higher sales per worker, and are more productive than non-spinoff entrepreneurial firms. The differences are more pronounced in growing clusters. An important feature of the analysis is that the entrepreneur is measured as an organic new firm, meaning new firms that are not the result of the restructuring or the organizing of a formally new firm.

Who Founds?
We compare individuals presently employed either at an university or at a firm from a R&D intensive sector and analyze which of their personal-specific and employer-specific characteristics determine their choice of subsequently founding a startup. Our data set is unusually rich and combines the population of Danish employees with their present employers. We focus on persons who at least hold a Bachelor's degree in engineering, sciences and health and track them over the time period 2001-2012. We show that (i) there are overall little differences between the characteristics of university and corporate startup entrepreneurs, (ii) common factors triggering startup activity of both university and corporate employees are education, top management team membership, previous job mobility and being male, (iii) it is exclusively human capital-related characteristics that affect startup choice of university employees while (iv) the characteristics of the present workplace constitute major factors of entrepreneurial activity.
