Education and entrepreneurial success
This paper estimates the effect of education on the success of entrepreneurial activity, using survey data from Malawi.

This is consistent with theoretical arguments that primary schooling provides a generalized form of competence that underpins the variety of skills an entrepreneur needs to succeed in business. Results are robust to non-random selection into entrepreneurship.
