In many countries, international migrants show a high tendency to become entrepreneurs. In the literature this has often been attributed to discrimination, ethnic networks, and sociodemographic differences. This paper examines a new explanation and argues that voluntary international migrants have a more entrepreneurial personality as a result of self-selection. An analysis of intentions, preparatory actions (n = 1,385) and long-term actions (n = 360) of skilled migrants and non-migrants confirms this hypothesis. It suggests that the relationship between voluntary international migration and entrepreneurship is mediated by a greater willingness to take risks and, to some extent, by a greater need for achievement.

是否自愿选择自愿的国际移民来创业?企业家人格特质分析

在许多国家,国际移民极有可能成为企业家。在文献中,这通常归因于歧视,种族网络和社会人口统计学差异。本文研究了一种新的解释,并认为自愿国际移民由于自我选择而具有更多的企业家个性。对技术移民和非移民的意图,准备行动(n = 1,385)和长期行动(n = 360)的分析证实了这一假设。它表明自愿国际移徙与企业家精神之间的关系是由更大的冒险意愿和某种程度上更大的成就需要所介导的。
