Resumo

Entrepreneurship is historically associated with risk bearing. Consequently, risk attitude is widely believed to affect the selection of individuals into entrepreneurial positions. The data support the supposedly negative effect of risk aversion on entrepreneurship selection. However, we do not feel enough confident about our measure of risk attitude to conclude anything concerning the causality of this relationship.
