[215-230) and index. 330 $aA comprehensive analysis of racial disparities and the determinants of entrepreneurial performance--in particular, why Asian-owned businesses on average perform relatively well and why black-owned businesses typically do not.Thirteen million people in the United States--roughly one in ten workers--own a business. And yet rates of business ownership among African Americans are much lower and have been so throughout the twentieth century. In addition, and perhaps more importantly, businesses owned by African Americans tend to have lower sales, fewer employees and smaller payrolls, lower profits, and higher closure rates. In contrast, Asian American-owned businesses tend to be more successful. In Race and Entrepreneurial Success, minority entrepreneurship authorities Robert Fairlie and Alicia Robb examine racial disparities in business performance. Drawing on the rarely used, restricted-access Characteristics of Business Owners (CBO) dataset compiled by the U.S. Census Bureau, Fairlie and Robb examine in particular why Asian-owned firms perform well in comparison to white-owned businesses and black-owned firms typically do not. They also explore the broader question of why some entrepreneurs are successful and others are not. After providing new comprehensive estimates of recent trends in minority business ownership and performance, the authors examine the importance of human capital, financial capital, and family business background in successful business ownership. They find that a high level of startup capital is the most important factor contributing to the success of Asian-owned businesses, and that the lack of startup money for black businesses (attributable to the fact that nearly half of all black families have less than $6,000 in total wealth) contributes to their relative lack of success. In addition, higher education levels among Asian business owners explain much of their success relative to both white- and African American-owned businesses. Finally, Fairlie and Robb find that black entrepreneurs have fewer opportunities than white entrepreneurs to acquire valuable pre-business work experience through working in family businesses. 606 $aMinority business enterprises$zUnited States 606 $aAfrican American business enterprises 606 $aAsian American business enterprises 606 $aEntrepreneurship$zUnited States 606 $aSmall business$zUnited States 606 $aSuccess in business$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMinority business enterprises 615 0$aAfrican American business enterprises. 615 0$aAsian American business enterprises. 615 0$aEntrepreneurship 615 0$aSmall business 615 0$aSuccess in business 676 $a338.6/420890973 700 $aFairlie$b Robert W$0859711 701 $aRobb$b Alicia M$0859712 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454171303321 996 $aRace and entrepreneurial success$91918523 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05374nam 2200805 a 450 001 9910453240403321 005 20210722174513.0 010 $a9786610535453 010 $a1-280-53545-8 010 $a1-282-36698-X 010 $a9786612366987 010 $a0-19-534717-X 035 $a(CKB)1000000000551807 035 $a(EBL)422820 035 $a(OCoLC)476259813 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000301284 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11238573 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000301284 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10261058 035 $a(PQKB)11042992 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC422820 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4964040 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL422820 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10273286 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL236698 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4964040 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL53545 035 $a(OCoLC)1027169023 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000551807 100 $a20030620d2004 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aLanguage and woman's place$b[electronic resource] $etext and commentaries /$fRobin Tolmach Lakoff ; edited by Mary Bucholtz 205 $aRev. and expanded ed. 210 $aNew York $cOxford University Press$d2004 215 $a1 online resource (322 p.) 225 1 $aStudies in language and gender 300 $aOriginally published: New York: Harper & Row, 1975. 311 $a0-19-516758-9 311 $a0-19-516757-0 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aCover; Contents; Contributors; Editor's Introduction; Author's Introduction: Language and Woman's Place Revisited; THE ORIGINAL TEXT: with Annotations by the Author; Language and Woman's Place; Preface; Part I: Language and Woman's Place; 1.
