Student regional origins and student entrepreneurship
利用美国一所大型公立研究型大学的数据,考察本科生区域出身的特征与创业兴趣之间的关系,发现区域创业指标能预测学生的创业意图和想法。
Using data from a large public research university in the United States, we examine the relationship between the characteristics of undergraduate college students’ regional origins and students’ interest in entrepreneurship. We find that several entrepreneurial indicators of students’ regional origins predict students’ entrepreneurial intent and ideation. One possible explanation for our results is that the extent of entrepreneurial activity in a region may imprint attitudes towards entrepreneurial careers on people growing up in those regions. Our findings suggest the composition of admitted students’ geographical origins may impact the entrepreneurial focus of universities’ student bodies.
