The Impact of Entrepreneurship Education on Human Capital at Upper-Secondary Level
通过准实验设计，评估了创业教育对上中等教育阶段学生人力资本的影响，发现其对信念、机会利用能力和创业知识有显著但有限的作用，但对创业意向无显著影响。
In this study we evaluate the impact of entrepreneurship education on human capital at the upper-secondary level using a quasi-experimental design. Data were collected from 494 students attending entrepreneurship education programs and from 238 in a control group. Our results indicate that some personality traits such as need for autonomy and risk propensity, as well as beliefs, can have a significant positive influence on entrepreneurial intention. Entrepreneurship education has a positive, albeit limited impact on human-capital assets. The programs we assessed had a statistically significant impact on beliefs, on the capacity to exploit an opportunity, and on entrepreneurial knowledge. However, we did not observe any significant impact on entrepreneurial intention.
