      abstract = {We experimentally investigate gender- and  occupation-specific differences in market entry
behavior  and test whether female entrepreneurs are more willing to  take strategic risk and
engage in competition than other  women. To facilitate strategic thinking, we induce  asymmetric
gain and loss experiences. We find that female  entrepreneurs react to own gains and losses
like other  women and to opponents’ experiences like male  entrepreneurs. Overall entry of
female entrepreneurs is  much lower than that of male entrepreneurs and does not  differ from
other women indicating that also female  entrepreneurs dislike strategic competition. Risk
aversion  does not to account for this finding.},
