Abstract

Does entrepreneurship contribute to improving social mobility in Ecuador? This paper constructs a pseudo-panel to analyze the dynamic ef fect of entrepreneurship on Ecuadorian household incomes during the period 2002- 2010. Using dynamic panel estimation techniques and three estimation scenarios, the paper finds a significant level of unconditional mobility and an important ef fect of entrepreneurship (conditional mobility).
