TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of education, inheritance and other background characteristics on the propensity to become self-employed and subsequent success, as measured by job and wealth creation, was explored.

TL;DR: This paper used NCDS data on individual characteristics to distinguish determinants of entrepreneurial choice, income and job generation, and found that a range of inheritance enhances the performance of the self-employed and increases self-employment; while higher education also increases self‐employment income and jobs creation, but reduces the probability of selfemployment.

TL;DR: This article proposed a new measure of entrepreneurship which accounts for variations in persistence in self-employment and as a result avoids the weakness of approaches which categorise an individual as an entrepreneur by observing their occupation at just one point in their career.

TL;DR: This article investigated the multiple effects of writing a business plan prior to start-up on new venture performance and found that the impact of business plans depends on the purpose for and circumstances in which they are being used.
