Experimental evidence on the role of information and beliefs about business performance and job opportunities on occupational choices of microentrepreneurs in Mozambique

Project Active from to Entrepreneurship

This study aims to understand why micro-entrepreneurs in Mozambique continue operating low-profitability firms by examining the impact of information constraints and biased beliefs on occupational choices. The project provides accurate business performance data and labour market information to entrepreneurs through a field experiment, examining whether better information may lead them to reconsider business decisions.
