创业教育在欧洲和美国的政策议程上排名很高，但几乎没有研究可以评估其影响。在这方面，至关重要的是要了解创业教育是否能普遍提高创业意愿，或者是否能帮助学生确定他们是否适合创业。我们开发了一个贝叶斯学习的理论模型，其中创业教育产生的信号，帮助学生评估自己的能力，创业任务。我们从模型中得出预测，并使用德国大学必修的创业课程的数据进行测试。使用189名学生事前和事后的调查结果，我们发现，创业倾向有所下降，尽管一般良好的评价类。我们的贝叶斯更新测试提供了支持的概念，学生接收有价值的信号，并了解自己的类型在创业课程。
Entrepreneurship education ranks highly on policy agendas in Europe and the US, but little research is available to assess its impacts. In this context it is of primary importance to understand whether entrepreneurship education raises intentions to be entrepreneurial generally or whether it helps students determine how well suited they are for entrepreneurship. We develop a theoretical model of Bayesian learning in which entrepreneurship education generates signals which help students to evaluate their own aptitude for entrepreneurial tasks. We derive predictions from the model and test them using data from a compulsory entrepreneurship course at a German university. Using survey responses from 189 students ex ante and ex post, we find that entrepreneurial propensity declined somewhat in spite of generally good evaluations of the class. Our tests of Bayesian updating provide support for the notion that students receive valuable signals and learn about their own type in the entrepreneurship course.
