The e ect of early entrepreneurship education Evidence from a randomized eld experiment

چکیده
The aim of this study is to analyze the e ectiveness of early entrepreneurship education. To this end, we conduct a randomized eld experiment to evaluate a leading entrepreneurship education program that is taught worldwide in the nal grade of primary school. We focus on pupils' development of relevant skill sets for entrepreneurial activity, both cognitive and non-cognitive. The results indicate that cognitive entrepreneurial skills are una ected by the program. However, the program has a robust positive e ect on non-cognitive entrepreneurial skills. This is surprising since previous evaluations found zero or negative e ects. Because these earlier studies all pertain to education for adolescents, our result tentatively suggests that non-cognitive entrepreneurial skills are best developed at an early age.
