The entrepreneurship has been evaluated as playing a central role in explaining
economic growth by many economists and policy makers. This role has recently been the
subject of a growing literature. However, entrepreneurship literature generally has been
focused on evaluating the effect of entrepreneurship on economic growth. This study will
evaluate the causal relationships among women’s and men’s entrepreneurship, women’s
and men’s educational attainment and per capita GDP in 20 high-income OECD countries
over the period 2001-2011. To do this, applying the Granger panel non-causality test, the
empirical findings of the study showed that there exists a unidirectional causal relationship
running from women’s entrepreneurship to women’s educational attainment. Thus, the
findings showed that the women entrepreneurship is a reason for increased women’s
educational attainment. In addition, the findings showed that per capita GDP is important
source for the total entrepreneurship activities as well as women’s and men’s educational
attainment
