metadata.value: This paper, based on the data of sample observation of population incomes and participation in
  social programs for the period from 2014 to 2018 prepared by the Federal State Statistics Service,
  evaluates the differences in the incomes of employees and entrepreneurs, the latter fall into ownaccount
  workers and employers. In this study the methods of ordinary least squares and quantile
  regression are employed. The results show that in Russia entrepreneurs’ median and average
  earnings are higher than employees’ ones. The highest positive differences are in the incomes of
  employers who earn more than own-account workers and employees respectively. Also, entrepreneurs
  earn more than employees during the period of economic growth as well as recession.
  It indicates that the positive income difference between entrepreneurs and employees is kept during
  economic slowdowns. Th is finding distinguishes Russia from the countries with high income
  per capita and a larger contribution of small and medium-sized businesses to the gross domestic
  product, such as the USA, Great Britain, Germany, Finland, where entrepreneurs often earn less
  than employees. Thus, the monetary reward might be a primary reason for persons to opt for
  entrepreneurship in Russia than in high-income economies.
