>Dear Denis,
>
>Attached is a proposal I am sending in in
>response to the Call for Research Proposals for
>the Productivity, Innovation, and
>Entrepreneurship Program which you circulated on
>December 17. This proposal is directed at the
>second of the areas described in your
>email: Entrepreneurship. The title is
>“Non-Cognitive Skills and Self-Employment.”
>
>The proposal is coauthored with a junior
>colleague of mine at Johns Hopkins, who is the
>lead author. He is a young and promising
>economist who has strong research interests in
>entrepreneurship and has already done a couple
>of papers in the area. I got interested in his
>work and asked him if we could go in together on
>this, with him taking the lead. I am excited
>about this work. I also think he would be a
>good candidate for the NBER program in the
>future, and this would be a chance for NBER to take a look at him.
>
>Let me know if you have any questions about the proposal.*
>
>Regards,
>Robert Moffitt
>
>*The instructions asked for just a two-pager: I
>hope that didn’t include the reference list….
