Logistic regression of adults’ vocation, owner-manager contrasted non-entrepreneur
Adults (only non-entrepreneurs and owner-managers) in Denmark 2003-08
Coefficient Odds ratio Probability-value
Medium higher education - 0,3 0,7 0,0001 two-tailed
Short higher education - 0,1 0,9 0,20 two-tailed
Vocational education - 0,3 0,8 0,0003 two-tailed
Neither higher nor voc. ed. - 0,2 0,8 0,02 two-tailed

Gender (female 0, male 1) 0,5 1,7 0,0001 one-tailed
Age (logarithmic) 0,8 2,1 0,0001 one-tailed
Constant - 6,6
Training * - 0,2 0,9 0,23 one-tailed
N = 17529 adults
* Estimated by 2008 data
for any figure in the monograph, but is included
here to show robustness of results.
The robustness of estimated effects can also
be examined by focusing on vocation in a contrast
between non-entrepreneurs and starters,
as here in Table 8.8. The results are similar. Table
8.8 is not used for any figure in the monograph,
but is included here to show robustness
of results.
Effects are also estimated for vocation as a contrast
between non-entrepreneurs and ownermanagers,
as here in Table 8.9. The coefficients
are fairly similar to those in the regresssions us-
ing staters or prospective starters (the estimated
coefficient for training is here negative, but
quite insignificant). Table 8.9 is not used for any
figure in the monograph, but is included here to
show robustness of results.
Notes to Chapter 9
Figure 9.2 in Chapter 9 is based on Tables 9.11,
9.12 and 9.13. The unit of analysis is an entrepreneur.
The sample is the entrepreneurs identified
in our surveys of adults in Denmark. The sample
of entrepreneurs is fairly representative of
the population of entrepreneurs in Denmark,
because the sampled adults are a fairly representative
sample of the population of adults in
