This paper provides a meta-analytical review of empirical studies into the impact of schooling on entrepreneurship selection and performance. We first describe the main effects found in the current entrepreneurship literature. We then explain the variance in results across the hundreds of...

Several potential moderators of this relationship were investigated, but only two were supported: the proportion of Black employees in...
