This paper extents on that research by using multilevel modeling, also known as random coefficient modeling (RCM), to examine how both country-level economic freedom and individual characteristics influence the likelihood of an individual being self-employed. Also, this paper examines the robustness of these relationships by running separate analyses using scores from both the Economic Freedom of the World index and the Index of Economic Freedom. Individual-level data obtained from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor are used. Surprisingly, the results show a positive relationship between the government size/taxation level in a country and the likelihood of individual self-employment. A positive relationship is also found between the level of trade freedom in the country in which an individual resides and the likelihood that they are engaged in self-employment. Some support is also found for a negative relationship between both property rights and the level of business regulations in the country in which an individual resides and the likelihood that they are self-employed.
