Do the rich stay unemployed longer? An empirical study for the UK
Article Abstract:
The effect of individual asset holdings on the probability of leaving unemployment was examined. The objective was to determine whether financial assets influence the hazard rate out of unemployment. Data were taken from the Survey of Living Standards during Unemployment which involved unemployed household heads that entered unemployment in the summer of 1982. Results suggest that individual asset holdings substantially impact the escape rate out of unemployment.

Transitions to and from self-employment in Spain: an empirical analysis
Article Abstract:
Research was conducted to examine the factors influencing the decision of entry into self-employment and the likelihood of remaining in business. Longitudinal data from the Spanish Continuous Family Expenditure Survey for 1985.I to 1991.IV were used as the basis for the study. Results suggest that unemployment raises the probability of entering self-employment but also increases the hazard of leaving self-employment, particularly into unemployment.
