We examine the impact of mental health on the propensity for entrepreneurship. To measure entrepreneurship, we use various indicators of self-employment. Our preferred estimates, which rely on selection along observable characteristics to reveal unobservable selection, suggest that an increase in mental health leads to a higher probability of self-employment. Our results highlight the important role mental health plays in influencing entrepreneurial propensity.
