    Este estudio investiga la relación entre el autoempleo y el desempleo en las comunidades autónomas espa- ñolas entre 1987 y 2020. Se examinan los impactos del autoempleo en las tasas de desempleo regionales, encontrando que dichos efectos son asimétricos: solo son significativos cuando el desempleo supera un um- bral del 13-15 por 100. Aunque hay que profundizar en ciertos aspectos, especialmente en los relacionados con la heterogeneidad en el autoempleo, parece que la efectividad de la política de promoción del autoempleo como forma de combatir el desempleo estará condi- cionada por el contexto económico

    This study investigates the relationship between self-employment and unemployment in the Spanish autonomous communities from 1987 to 2020. It examines the impacts of self-employment on regional unemployment rates, finding that these effects are asymmetric: they are only significant when unemployment exceeds a threshold of 13-15%.

    Although fur ther exploration of cer tain aspects is needed, particularly those related to the heterogeneity of self-employment, it appears that the effectiveness of self-employment promotion policies as a way to combat unemployment will be conditioned by the economic context
