Evans and Jovanovic ('EJ') [Evans, D., Jovanovic, B., 1989. An estimated model of entrepreneurial choice under Liquidity constraints. Journal of Political Economy 97 (4), 808-827.] claimed that in a credit market with collateral-based lending, credit rationing occurs if more collateral increases startups. Adjusting the model to incorporate uncertainty and decreasing absolute risk aversion, this relationship can be explained as a risk averter's response to the lowered riskiness of self- over wage-employment.
