    Bíró, Anikó; Bisztray, Márta; Galindo da Fonseca, Joao; Molnár, Tímea Laura (Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques, 2024-01-14)
    How do short absences from work affect workers’ labor trajectory? We use linked employer-employee administrative data from Hungary, with rich administrative health records, and use unexpected and mild accidents with no permanent labor productivity ...

  • Entrepreneurship, outside options and constrained 

    Galindo da Fonseca, Joao; Snoddy, Iain (Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2019-05)
    The literature on search frictions has often adopted the assumption of free entry. In this paper we forgo of this restriction by proposing a more realistic framework in which individuals are constantly making the decision whether or not to open a firm. ...

  • The housing boom and selection into entrepreneurship 

    Galindo da Fonseca, Joao; Pannella, Pierluca (Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2019-05)
    We provide evidence that the boom in housing prices occurred in the early 2000 distorted the selection of individuals that opened a business. A simple model of collateral financing predicts an increase in entry into entrepreneurship for house-owners ...

  • How are wages determined? : a quasi-experimental test of wage determination theories 

    Carvalho, Marcelo; Galindo da Fonseca, Joao; Santarrosa, Rogerio (Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques, 2023-01-02)

    Galindo da Fonseca, Joao; Berube, Charles (Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2019-05)
    Does having a spouse influence an individual’s decision to start a firm and what firms they create? The answer to this question is crucial for our understanding of how recent changes to family composition influence firm creation. We develop a model of ...

  • Spouses, children and entrepreneurship 

    Galindo da Fonseca, Joao; Berubé, Charles (Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2020-04)
    We develop a model of endogenous entrepreneurship and marriage. Spouses influence entrepreneurship via three channels: they reduce benefits by working less the more profitable the business is, they reduce costs by working more in case of business ...

  • Unemployment, entrepreneurship and firm outcomes 

    Galindo da Fonseca, Joao (Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2019-05)
    Are there differences between firms created by unemployed individuals relative to otherwise identical employed individuals? The answer is crucial for understanding the impact of policies that promote entrepreneurship among the unemployed. I develop an ...
