O papel do docente na trajetória dos egressos em programas Stricto Sensu em Finanças.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to demonstrate the aspects that influence the trajectory of graduates of Master and Doctoral degree into lines of research in Finance. As it was a descriptive study, the data source used was the curricular information available in CNPq Lattes Platform, from Professors and students of these programs. In this study, we proposed to give an overview about the profile and scientific publications of the graduates, in order to identify factors that affect the scientific production, the continuity of the academic formation, the choice of research lines, and the professional career in Universities. We also aimed to infer whether the Professors´ academic factors, with Doctoral or PhD degree titles, the acquisition of a scholarship, the authorship of international publications, or the membership in teaching staff/ or researchers of first class Universities, have positive effects on the trajectory of graduated students. We verified a high academic productivity in the applied sample, through the general Lotka index, and the Price´s Elitism Law. It was possible to deduct the existence of a positive relationship of Professors concerning their students in the following aspects: educational background, the student´s professional career in teaching and academic production.
