abstract = {This  paper  uses  a  reduced-form  implementation  of  a  structural  model  of  constrained  oc-cupational  choice  to  explain  the  probability  that  an  individual  receives  a  wage  offer,  animportant  determinant  of  whether  self-employment  is  by  choice  or  necessity.  Using  datafrom  Sierra  Leone  in  2016,  the  paper  estimates  the  model  and  finds  that  the  unconditionaldistribution  of  offer  probabilities  has  a  large  spike  at  a  very  low  value  (0.013),  but  that  cer-tain  characteristics,  such  as  education,  being  male  and  residence  in  the  capital  city  increasethe  likelihood  of  being  able  to  choose  not  be  self-employed.},
