<strong>Education</strong><br />
Expansiveness of entrepreneurs (starters <strong>and</strong><br />
owner-managers <strong>in</strong> Denmark) is shaped by separate<br />
effects from their education, tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g,<br />
competency <strong>and</strong> network<strong>in</strong>g. The effects are<br />
estimated by regression (Table 13.1 <strong>in</strong> the Appendix).<br />
Expansiveness is affected by education<br />
<strong>in</strong> the way that entrepreneurs with long<br />
higher education are especially expansive. Entrepreneurs<br />
with tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g, with competency <strong>and</strong><br />
with extensive networks are also especially expansive.<br />

is shown by a solid arrow, a negative effect<br />

effect is <strong>in</strong>dicated by the thickness of the arrow<br />
These effects on expansiveness are pictured <strong>in</strong><br />
