Appendix Table A1: Heterogeneous effect by baseline labor market status<br />
Following de Mel et al. 2014, we study if the program had different effects for individuals that were self-employed, wage workers or<br />
unemployed at the baseline. We find that in 2011, unemployed individuals at the baseline had a larger probability of being self-employed and<br />
employed, however in 2013 there are no differences in self-employment by labor status at the baseline (see Table 1 in the appendix 3). These results<br />
are consistent with de Mel et al, who find that training was more useful for potential business owners than current business owner, but the effects<br />
dissipate over time. Moreover, we find that self-employed individuals in the baseline have a lower probability of being a dependent worker and<br />
receive a lower wage in 2013, which indicates that self-employed individuals in the baseline have some difficulties transiting to wage employment<br />
when overall labor market conditions improve. These results suggest that this type of programs might be less appropriate for current business owners.
