<p>Entrepreneurship education is one of the fastest growing areas in the world. One of the main reasons is the assumption that entrepreneurship education plays an important role in solving the chronic challenges such as employment, economic growth, poverty via developing entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship education is given to develop entrepreneurship in many countries which are trying to eliminate these problems. It is one of the most curious subject whether entrepreneurial education contributes to entrepreneurial activities. Therefore, in many studies it has been tried to explain the connection between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial activity. In our study, we conducted a literature review on the relationship between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial activities. Following the literature review, some proposals have been developed by comparison the studies abroad with the studies in Turkey.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Özet</strong></p><p>Girişimcilik eğitimi dünya genelinde en hızlı büyüyen alanlardan bir tanesidir. Bunun temel nedenleri arasında girişimcilik eğitiminin girişimciliği geliştirerek istihdam, ekonomik büyüme, yoksulluk gibi kronikleşen önemli sorunların çözümünde önemli rol oynadığı düşüncesidir. Bu problemleri bertaraf etmeye çalışan birçok ülkede girişimciliği geliştirmek için girişimcilik eğitimi verilmektedir. Verilen girişimcilik eğitimlerinin girişimcilik faaliyetlerine katkı verip vermediği en çok merak edilen konulardan birisidir. Bu nedenle yapılan birçok çalışmada, girişimcilik eğitimi ve girişimcilik faaliyetlerinin arasındaki bağlantıyı anlamaya çalışmıştır. Çalışmamızda girişimcilik eğitimi ve girişimcilik faaliyetleri arasındaki bağlantı ile ilgili bir literatür taraması yapılmıştır. Literatür taraması sonucunda, yurt dışında yapılan çalışmalar ile Türkiye’de yapılan çalışmalar kıyaslanarak öneriler geliştirilmiştir.</p>

Entrepreneurship is a worldwide reality. Since the beginning of times and all around the world people have created businesses. Entrepreneurial orientation, from a macroeconomic perspective, allows income and employment generation, thus boosting growth. At the microeconomic level, it is a competition booster playing a central role in a globalized market. In this entrepreneurial ecosystem in which knowledge-based activity is the core booster of employment, economic growth, and competitiveness, universities and, in particular, entrepreneurial universities play either the role of knowledge production and dissemination. The present work aims to understand the role of education (formal and entrepreneurship) on entrepreneurial activity combined with heterogeneous individual characteristics and different cultures and geographies. Specifically, the study identifies substitution and complementary effects among both types of education according to individual taxonomies.

Entrepreneurship is a source of economic dynamics, innovation, creation of new products and services, and the adoption of a proactive attitude towards job search instead of passively waiting for employment. The rationale behind this paper is to determine the relationship between entrepreneurship education and the creation of a new generation of entrepreneurs. The aim is to provide an answer to the question of whether entrepreneurial education in the formal education system is a factor that can shape the entrepreneurial behavior of young adults, who belong to the so-called new generation. To answer this question, we conducted a questionnaire study among the student population. The results showed that there are statistically significant differences between groups of students who had an entrepreneurial education at some point in their formal education in terms of their entrepreneurial behavior: the intention to start their own business and displaying resourcefulness, i.e. the implementation of entrepreneurial activities. The respondents who had an entrepreneurial education as part of their formal education display an intention to start their own business to a greater extent than those who did not have an entrepreneurial education and more often engage in entrepreneurial activities.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to extend the literature on entrepreneurship and corruption by examining the link between productive and unproductive entrepreneurial activities as moderated by economic freedom. Specifically, the authors hypothesize that various aspects of economic freedom are contextual in their moderating effects, so that what matters in terms of economic freedom will depend on other factors such as levels of human capital. Design/methodology/approach The authors test these hypotheses by incorporating aggregated and disaggregated measures from the Economic Freedom of the World into a model of international entrepreneurial activity. Findings The results indicate that not only is economic freedom a major determinant of the level of entrepreneurial activity across countries, as previously verified, but that it also moderates the relationship between human capital, corruption, and productive entrepreneurship. Originality/value These findings resolve many of the ambiguities previously identified in the literature on the link between corruption, entrepreneurship, and growth.

The literature review shows inconsistent results of the relationship between entrepreneurial education withentrepreneurial intention and recommends the investigation of the role of self-efficacy as a mediator between the two constructs. This study aims to meet that purpose. From the response of 241 students in Jogjakarta, which was analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM), it is concluded that self-efficacy mediates the relationship. This finding signifies the role of entrepreneurship education as it builds self-efficacy to become an entrepreneur, which in turn increases the intention to become one.

Recent decades have brought significant changes all over the world in terms of space mobility. In this context, from an economic perspective, the first question that arises is related to the correlation that exists between this phenomenon and the economic growth of the country of origin, respectively that of the destination of immigrants. The initiation of an entrepreneurial act, beyond a series of qualities that the individual must possess, also highlights the need for the existence of an economic and social framework conducive to such an approach. When the issue of immigrants is discussed, this becomes even more obvious, because in most cases, they do not have the citizenship of the country of destination and do not enjoy the same rights as their citizens. This article seeks to clarify the relationship between migration and entrepreneurship from the perspective of the existence of equal opportunities between the population of that country and the immigrant population regarding the start-up of entrepreneurial activities.

The study is concentrated on examination the impact of FDI on economic growth in the World during 1975–2015. The study consists of four consecutive parts, including introduction, literature review, model and methodology, data, empirical results and conclusion. Each part of the study is focused on its own goals. According to the results of the literature review, there is positive influence of FDI on economic growth in various countries. Economic growth is one of the most important goals of any country. The country image on the international level is dependent on its economic power. Economic growth provides an opportunity to improve the living standards in the country. Most researchers conclude that there is a positive influence of FDI on the countries’ economic growth. However, the impact of FDI is strong in developing countries. Moreover, this relationship is stronger in countries with higher educational and technological level, trade openness and development of the countries’ stock markets. Economists often build regression models to estimate the relationship between the variables. In order to find the impact of FDI on economic growth, we are going to apply linear regression models. We take two variables as indicators of the countries’ economic growth, including current GDP expressed in U.S dollars, and annual GDP growth rate. Taking into account that the World’s GDP in current U.S dollar is a factor variable with the mentioned resulting variables, the regression equation looks as follows: The R-squared of the built model is 0.99, indicating that roughly 100% of changes in the World’s GDP is caused by the chosen factors. As it is seen from the SAS output, the residuals of dependent variable and factors variables are distributed normally among its average value. Thus, non-normality is not observed in the model. Taking into account the coefficients of the factor variables, the log GDP is most sensitive to the changes in trade as a percent of GDP. The log GDP is not quite sensitive to the changes in FDI, since the coefficient of 0.000128 means that increasing of FDI by one unit increase the logarithmic value of GDP by $ 0.000128.

Since the exchange of goods, services, and capital became a worldwide system some nations have succeeded becoming wealthy and prosperous while many others have failed remaining in poverty. Over the last three decades the dynamism of the increasing integrated world economy became an essential part of the process of economic growth, and as a consequence growth has been meager in countries like Brazil whose authorities have remained systematically hesitant to integrate the domestic markets into the world economy, staying apart from the main flows of trade and capital. The article discusses also why economic development studies has moved from the field of Economy to the field of International Relations forming the area of International Political Economy studies which is mainly driven to understand the trends and changes in the relationship between the state institutions and the market forces in the national and international levels. The essay concludes that to any country the process of integrating into the world economy means exploring and improving national potentialities rather than abandoning national identity and interests.
