Self-Employment and Labor Force Participation of Older Males

This research was begun with financial support from The Russell Sage Foundation and completed with fund-ing from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Phillip Farrell did an excellent job of transforming the original survey tapes into a useable data file, and provided valuable research assistance. The partici-pants in the Stanford University Labor Workshop offered many helpful suggestions, and I am also grateful to Alan Blinder, Edward Lazear, Arnold Zeilner, and two anonymous reviewers for helpful comments.
