Abstract

Wenn bestimmte Charakteristika einer freiberuflichen Existenzgründung einen Hinweis auf einen entsprechenden Geschäftserfolg geben könnten, dann könnte das Wissen um sie eine erfolgreiche Gründung unterstützen und eine entsprechende Beratung effizienter gestalten lassen. Unsere Studie will hierzu einen Beitrag leisten und individuelle Erfolgscharakteristika einer freiberuflichen Gründung quantifizieren. Die Datenbasis der mikroökonometrischen Analysen für ein dreijähriges Überleben als Erfolgsindikator ist das überarbeitete Sozioökonomische Panel (SOEP) für die Jahre 1992 bis 2002. Diese Datenbasis erlaubt es insbesondere institutionelle, personelle und familiale Charakteristika des mikro-sozialen Umfeldes einer Gründung einzubeziehen. Wir beschreiben und diskutieren die Arbeit an der Datenbereinigung, um kompatible individuelle Informationen über die Zeit innerhalb des sozio-ökonomischen Panels zu erhalten und präsentieren die Resultate verschiedener Analysemethoden (Rare Events Logit-, Logit- und Probit- Ansatz) ...
