If the foreign income tax rate is lower than the . rate, . tax on the foreign income will be limited to the difference between the rates.

Specifically using new data that samples early stage entrepreneurs just prior to business start up we show that few small businesses intend to bring a new idea to market. Instead most intend to provide an existing service to an existing customer base. Further using the same data we find that most small businesses have little desire to grow big or to innovate in any observable way. We show that such behavior is consistent with the industry characteristics of the majority of small businesses which are concentrated among skilled craftsmen lawyers real estate agents doctors small shopkeepers and restaurateurs. Lastly we show non pecuniary benefits being one s own boss having flexibility of hours etc. play a first-order role in the business formation decision. We then discuss how our findings suggest that the importance of entrepreneurial talent entrepreneurial luck and financial frictions in explaining the firm size distribution may be overstated. We conclude by discussing the potential policy implications of our findings. 1 We would like to thank Mark Aguiar Fernando Alvarez Jaroslav Borovicka Augustin Landier Josh Lerner .
