Notes: Abstract This study shows that establishment dissolution declines with age and that age at dissolution differs for broad industry and geography groups, establishment affiliation status, and establishment size. These findings, largely confirming results presented elsewhere, are drawn from age-specific dissolution ratios and establishment life tables calculated for select establishment sub-populations. The paper uses Bureau of the Census Standard Statistical Establishment List datasets, a census of establishments with employment for the United States for the 1987 and 1988 years.

Notes: Abstract This study compares the number and attributes of self-employed workers using the 1982 and 1987 Characteristics of Business Owners (CBO) data and data from Annual Demographic Files (ADF) of the Current Population Survey (CPS) for the same reference years. Both sources of data have been widely used in empirical studies of entrepreneurship/self-employment. Substantial and inexplicable differences were found in the two data series' estimates of the number of self-employed men and women for both reference years. In terms of individual attributes, the CBO and CPS appear to report reasonably similar profiles of self-employed individuals in terms of marital status and geographic location, and similar systematic gender differences in the industrial distributions of these individuals. However, in terms of other attributes captured by both data series, including age, the two series exhibit notable dissimilarities.

Notes: Abstract The 1982 Characteristics of Business Owners (CBO) dataset is a microdata file containing data on approximately 91,000 small businesses and 100,000 owners of those businesses. This dataset is unique in that it unites information on the personal attributes of business owners with information on various attributes of their businesses. The CBO dataset is also distinguished by the large volume of data that it contains on minority and female business owners and their businesses. This paper provides an overview of the coverage and contents of the dataset, and the design of the survey upon which it is based. In addition, the strengths and limitations of the CBO dataset are discussed and illustrated through synopses of studies that made use of these data.
