THE JDE CONTINUES TO SERVE THE PROFESSION

摘要

As the JDE enters into its second decade of both electronic and print publishing, I am proud to present an excellent selection of articles included in the June, 2015 version of our journal. In the first article of the issue, Bridging The Gender Gap in Entrepreneurship: An Empirical Analysis, Elvin Afandi and Majid Kermani explore the role of inequality in individual and country attributes between men and women in bridging the gender entrepreneurship gap. Using Oaxaca-type decomposition and its extensions, they analyze gender differences with respect to individual and country characteristics in explaining the entrepreneurship gender gap as well as return differentials. However, they leave the door open for the existence of gender discrimination.
