Abstract
Abstract:Cette étude considère l’association entre diplômes postsecondaires et domaines d’études par rapport aux revenus chez des universitaires ayant obtenu récemment leur diplôme, ainsi que leur propension pour l’entrepreneuriat. Dans ce but, nous analysons une banque de données administrative qui relie les dossiers d’établissements postsecondaires publics du Canada aux déclarations d’impôt sur le revenu de l’Agence du revenu du Canada. Nos résultats mettent à jour deux tendances : les entrepreneur• e• s titulaires d’un doctorat gagnent significativement plus que les non-titulaires, et certains domaines d’études sont associés à des revenus plus élevés. Cependant, les résultats montrent également que les probabilités qu’un individu se lance dans l’entrepreneuriat diminuent à mesure que le niveau d’études complétées augmente. Notre étude suggère donc aussi l’existence d’une relation entre l’éducation et la réussite entrepreneuriale.Abstract:This work examines the association of post-secondary credentials and fields of study on the earnings of recent university graduates and their propensity to become entrepreneurs.
