Abstract

•A multilevel model of entrepreneurship education (EE) outcomes is developed.•Institutional theory informs the macro-level of the theory.•The model of entrepreneurial action informs the micro-level.•Institutions significantly and negatively moderate the EE-entrepreneurial activity link.

Drawing on institutional theory and the model of entrepreneurial action, we build and test a multilevel model on the outcomes of entrepreneurship education. Essentially, we suggest that entrepreneurship education has stronger relationships with subsequent entrepreneurial activity in seemingly entrepreneurship-hostile institutional environments. Findings from 11,230 individuals in 32 countries support this notion. The results have implications for researchers and practitioners in the field of entrepreneurship education.
