The empirical effects of entrepreneurship on economic growth through different channels have convinced researchers to coin entrepreneurship as an important indicator. While many studies are exploring the determinants of entrepreneurship, education is the one which is most studied. Empirical studies have discussed that no doubt education leads to entrepreneurship, but different levels of education have different effects. This study isolated different types of education and formed quadratic function in the expectation that the type and incidence of education may change the intentions and environment for the prospective entrepreneur. The estimates of feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) model using 103 countries show that all three levels of education form U-shaped relationship with entrepreneurship in the overall model. This study helps identify the current positioning of countries, suggesting policies with respect to a particular type of education.

企业家精神通过不同渠道对经济增长的实证影响已使研究人员信服将企业家精神作为重要指标。尽管许多研究都在探索创业的决定因素，但教育是研究最多的一种。实证研究讨论了，毫无疑问，教育会导致企业家精神，但是不同程度的教育会产生不同的影响。这项研究隔离了不同类型的教育，并形成了二次函数，以期教育的类型和发生率可能改变准企业家的意图和环境。使用103个国家/地区的可行广义最小二乘（FGLS）模型的估计表明，在整个模型中，所有三个层次的教育都与企业家精神形成U形关系。
