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.

This research examines the difference in the level of entrepreneurial orientation among university employees within the European Union compared to university employees in non-EU countries. The EU Member States included in the research are the Republic of Slovenia and the Republic of Croatia, and the non-EU countries include the Republic of Serbia, the Republic of Montenegro, the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the Republic of Northern Macedonia. In the sample of 1474 respondents, the ENTRE-U scale was used to measure the entrepreneurial orientation of universities, and multivariate analysis of MANOVA variance was used for data processing. The ENTRE-U scale has proven applicable not only to developed countries but also developing countries. Moreover, it proved that being a member of the European Union in this part of Eastern Europe does not significantly affect the entrepreneurial orientation of universities.
