1 Entrepreneurship, Frictions and Wealth Marco Cagetti University of Virginia 1 Mariacristina De Nardi Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, NBER, and University of Minnesota
2 Previous work: Potential and existing entrepreneurs face borrowing constraints. Entrepreneurship is key to understand wealth inequality. 2
3 Entrepreneurs and borrowing constraints entrepreneurial choice depends on own assets and received bequests entrepreneur s portfolio undiversified collateral 3
4 Entrepreneurs and wealth inequality wealth more concentrated than labor earnings and income small fraction of entrepreneurs hold large share of total wealth (they also have higher saving rates) 4
5 5 Top % Whole population % total net worth held Active Bz. owners % hhs in given perc SE % hhs in given perc SE and Bz. owners % hhs in given perc
6 What we do: Construct a quantitative model consistent with observed data. Evaluate model along dimensions not matched by construction. 6 Study effects of borrowing constraints on aggregates and wealth inequality.
7 Preview of results Model accounts very well for wealth distributions of entrepreneurs and workers Model generates entry into entrepreneurship consistent with Hurst and Lusardi s estimates 7 Model generates entrepreneurial returns consistent with those in SCF data
8 More stringent borrowing constraints less inequality but also less investment Voluntary bequests important for wealth concentration
9 Demographics households: overlapping generations (possibly) with altruism. Two stages of life: young and old, stochastic aging 1 π y =pr of aging 1 π o =pr of dying 8
10 Demographics: OLG with stochastic aging 1 model period = 1 year Trick to keep computations manageable with short time periods Dynasty 1 Dynasty 2 Person 1 + Person Young Old Young Old Young... π y 1 π y π o 1 π o Old Young Old Young Old Young 9
11 Household s preferences Period utility: CRRA in consumption c 1 σ 1 σ Discount the future at rate β. Potentially altruistic toward own descendants (η). 10
12 Technology entrepreneurial sector: (1 δ)k + θk ν 0 < ν < 1 non-entrepreneurial sector: Cobb-Douglas tech employs all workers and the rest of the capital 11

14 Households observe (y,θ) choose (w,e) for the period workers earn y 13 entrepreneurs invest k
15 Credit market constraints imperfectly enforceable contracts: can borrow (k a), be worker, keep fk, creditors seize (1 f)k value (investing and repaying) value (keeping f k) and being worker 14 e can borrow at r, invest k, worker can save at r

19 Old entrepreneur s problem { } W(a, θ) = max W e (a, θ), W r (a) { W e (a, θ) = max u(c) + βπ o EW(a, θ )+ c,k,a ηβ(1 π o )EV (a, y, θ } ) a = (1 δ)k + θk ν (1 + r)(k a) c W e (a, θ) W r (f k) 18 a 0 k 0
