 note = {This study examines the gender gap in start-up activities to determine  whether household status or employment status is responsible for creating  the observed gender gap. We consider entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship as two different forms of start-up activities: while intrapreneurship is  conducted within an existing organization, entrepreneurship is solely an independent activity. This study focuses on this fundamental distinction to help  us identify parameters of our double selection model. Using representative  U.S. data, augmented by other sources, we find that the counterfactual rate  of entrepreneurial activities by women who have the same (in the distributional sense) characteristics as men is lower than the actual rate for men. A  similar result is obtained for intrapreneurial activities. More importantly, our  Blinder{Oaxaca decomposition results suggest that for both entrepreneurship  and intrapreneurship, women's employment status is more significant than  their household status in explaining the gender gap in start-up activities.  This is more apparent in the group of whites, college graduates, and those  who work for a large firm.},
