Abstract in English
We develop a job search model with self-employment and savings to understand occupation choice in the United Kingdom (UK). In the UK, self-employment has steadily grown from the beginning of the 2000s and comprised more than 14% of the workforce in 2015. We estimated the model using the method of moments and data from two longitudinal surveys, the Wealth and Assets Survey and the Understanding Society for the period 2010-12. We then use the model to simulate counterfactual policies to promote employment via entrepreneurship such as lower profit taxation and entry barriers into self-employment, or through changes in wage taxes and unemployment benefits. The results show that a rise in self-employment can be mostly associated with an increase in the payroll tax or a reduction on the self-employment income tax

Abstract in Portuguese
Desenvolvemos um modelo de busca por emprego que inclui o trabalhador autônomo e a riqueza para estudar a escolha ocupacional no Reino Unido. No Reino Unido, o trabalho por conta própria vem crescendo desde o início da década de 2000 e ultrapassou 14 % da força de trabalho em 2015. Estimamos o modelo usando o método de momentos e dados de duas pesquisas longitudinais, a Wealth and Assets Survey e a Understanding Society, para o período 2010-12. Em seguida, utilizamos o modelo para simular políticas contrafactuais de incentivo ao emprego através do empreendedorismo, com a menor tributação de lucros, redução às barreiras de entrada no trabalho por conta própria, ou através de alterações no imposto salarial e auxílio desemprego. Os resultados mostram que um aumento do emprego autônomo pode estar associado principalmente a um aumento do imposto sobre os salários ou a uma redução do imposto sobre o rendimento do trabalho por conta própria
