Studies by the OECD and Serasa Consumidor, together with other studies cited throughout this work, show there is still a long way to go to implement a strong policy for Financial Education. This study assesses the levels of financial literacy of the undergraduate students at FECAP using a questionnaire similar to the one developed by the OECD. The survey has been carried out with 564 students who attend the evening courses and are either in the first or in the last semester of undergraduate degree programs. I investigate the relations between sociodemographic variables and courses and the level of Financial Literacy. The results indicate that FECAP s students have a high level of Financial Literacy up to 2.39 points in a scale whose maximum is 3 points. That represents a performance of 79%. This result is 19 percentage points above that of a study conducted by Serasa Consumidor and IBOPE (2014), which found that individuals with higher education had a performance of 60% . Students in the senior year of college have more Financial Knowledge than the freshmen. Students of Accounting, who comprise most of the sample with 166 individuals, presented the best results regarding Financial Knowledge.This study indicates that sociodemographic factors, such as gender, age and religion are related to Financial Literacy / A aus??ncia de t??picos relacionados a Alfabetiza????o Financeira na educa????o b??sica faz com que boa parte dos jovens cheguem ao ensino superior sem a bagagem de Alfabetiza????o Financeira necess??ria para lidar com as finan??as cotidianas. Estudos da OECD, Serasa Consumidor, al??m de da literatura citada ao longo deste estudo, apontam ainda um longo caminho a ser percorrido no que se refere ?? implanta????o de uma forte pol??tica de ensino em Alfabetiza????o Financeira. O presente trabalho mensura a Alfabetiza????o Financeira e seus fatores indicadores (Conhecimento e Comportamento Financeiros e Atitude) de alunos dos cursos da FECAP, em pesquisa aplicada a 564 etudantes do per??odo noturno, do primeiro e ??ltimo anos de gradua????o, com base no question??rio desenvolvido pela OECD. Tamb??m s??o investigadas as rela????es entre vari??veis sociodemogr??ficas e os cursos com os n??veis de Alfabetiza????o Financeira. Os resultados apontam que os alunos da FECAP possuem um elevado n??vel de Alfabetiza????o Financeira, chegando a 2,39 pontos em uma escala com pontua????o m??xima de 3,00 pontos, o que representa um aproveitamento de 79%. Este resultado est?? 19 pontos percentuais acima de uma pesquisa realizada pela Serasa Consumidor e IBOPE (2014), em que foi verificado um aproveitamento de 60% em indiv??duos com curso superior. A an??lise realizada mostra que os alunos dos ??ltimos anos t??m maior n??vel de Alfabetiza????o Financeira que os dos primeiros anos. O estudo mostra ainda que fatores sociodemogr??ficos, como g??nero, faixa et??ria e religi??o est??o relacionados ao n??vel de Alfabetiza????o Financeira

This research aims to replicate the empirical investigation of the seminal article by Kahneman and Tversky (1979) to evaluate the decision-making process of employees (potential investors) of a major national financial institution. The results of this study were compared to those obtained in the original article and the studies led by C??rtes (2008), Cruz, Kimura and Krauter (2003), Rogers et al. (2007), Rogers, Favato and Securato (2008), and Torralvo (2010). The questionnaire adopted was an adaptation of the originally used, so that one could test, in studied sample, the applicability of Prospect Theory, more specifically with regard to Certain, Reflection and Isolation Effects. I also analyzed the differences in the decision making process considering the attributes of the respondents (gender, age, education, occupation, income and financial dependents). The results confirmed the existence of behavioral effects and proved that a large portion of the sample presented significant inconsistency in their choices according to the principles of the Expected Utility Theory, pointing that their decisions were not made under strictly rational behavior. Furthermore, in relation to violations observed, it was not possible to present significant conclusions in concern to the attributes by using regression analysis, suggesting the need of further studies / A premissa de racionalidade ilimitada preconizada pela Hip??tese dos Mercados Eficientes ?? contestada como ferramenta para tomada de decis??es pelo arcabou??o te??rico que envolve as Finan??as Comportamentais, cuja base, a Teoria da Perspectiva de Kahneman e Tversky (1979), questiona o que prediz a Teoria da Utilidade Esperada, importante elemento da Economia Neocl??ssica. A presente pesquisa objetiva replicar a investiga????o emp??rica do artigo seminal de Kahneman e Tversky (1979) para avaliar o processo decis??rio de funcion??rios (potenciais investidores) de uma importante institui????o financeira nacional. Os resultados deste estudo foram comparados aos obtidos no trabalho original e nas pesquisas realizadas por C??rtes (2008), Cruz, Kimura e Krauter (2003), Rogers et al.

O question??rio adotado foi uma adapta????o do originalmente utilizado, para que se pudesse testar, na amostra estudada, a aplicabilidade da Teoria da Perspectiva, mais especificamente no que diz respeito aos Efeitos Certeza, Reflex??o e Isolamento. Foram analisadas, ainda, as diferen??as no comportamento frente ?? tomada de decis??es considerando os perfis demogr??ficos dos respondentes (g??nero, idade, forma????o, ocupa????o, renda e dependentes financeiros). Os resultados obtidos confirmaram a presen??a dos efeitos e comprovaram que uma grande parcela do p??blico amostral apresentou efetiva inconsist??ncia em suas escolhas segundo os fundamentos da Teoria da Utilidade Esperada, o que indica que suas decis??es n??o foram tomadas de forma estritamente racional. Al??m disso, em rela????o ??s viola????es observadas, n??o foi poss??vel apresentar conclus??es quanto ??s diferen??as entre os perfis demogr??ficos estudados por meio do modelo econom??trico proposto, apontando a necessidade da realiza????o de novos estudos

ETFs were selected from twelve countries, including the ETF equities in Brazil, EWZ. The portfolios were created with and without the EWZ and two procedures were adopted to weight the assets: (1) maximization of the Sharpe ratio and (2) allocation based on the proportion of GDP. An alternative method of selection of assets was presented, using the PMI manufacturing index as a decision filter for the allocation of the resources. The PMI is usually published on the first business day of each month, is researched in the major countries and is one of the first, if not the first, leading indicator of the economic cycle. When the PMI signaled economic growth, the portfolio consisted of a higher proportion of equities. To evaluate the performance of the proposed portfolio, it was compared to other three global portfolios that followed classical allocation strategies, and one of these was considered a benchmark. The proposed portfolio was also compared to a benchmark created exclusively with brazilian assets. The result suggests that the use of PMI as a decision filter in an active and internationally diversified portfolio using only foreign ETFs and weighted according to the techniques of Modern Portfolio Theory presented higher total return and Generalized Sharpe Ratio than the international and brazilian benchmarks. This result suggests that Brazilian and foreign investors and managers who adopt active management of their portfolios should include PMI as one of the indicators to be observed in the allocation strategy / O objetivo desta pesquisa ?? propor para os investidores brasileiros de alta renda um modelo de aloca????o din??mica com diversifica????o internacional que utiliza ETFs e o ??ndice PMI da manufatura. Foram selecionados ETFs de doze pa??ses, incluindo o ETF de renda vari??vel do Brasil, o EWZ. Foram criadas carteiras com e sem o EWZ e adotados dois procedimentos para ponderar os ativos: (1) maximiza????o do ??ndice de Sharpe e (2) aloca????o com base na propor????o do PIB. Foi apresentado um m??todo alternativo de sele????o de ativos, utilizando o ??ndice PMI da manufatura como filtro de decis??o para a aloca????o dos recursos. O PMI ?? divulgado, em geral, no primeiro dia ??til de cada m??s, ?? pesquisado nos principais pa??ses e ?? um dos primeiros, se n??o o primeiro, indicador antecedente do ciclo econ??mico. Quando o PMI sinalizou crescimento econ??mico, a carteira foi composta por maior propor????o de ativos de renda vari??vel. Para avalia????o da performance da carteira proposta, a mesma foi comparada a outras tr??s carteiras globais que seguiram estrat??gias cl??ssicas de aloca????o, sendo que uma destas foi considerada benchmark. A carteira proposta tamb??m foi comparada a um benchmark criado com ativos exclusivamente brasileiros. O resultado obtido sugere que o uso do PMI como filtro de decis??o em uma carteira ativa e diversificada internacionalmente usando somente ETFs estrangeiros e ponderados de acordo com as t??cnicas da Moderna Teoria de Portf??lio apresentou retorno total e ??ndice de Sharpe generalizado superiores ao benchmark internacional e ao benchmark brasileiro. Este resultado sugere que os investidores e os gestores brasileiros e estrangeiros que adotam a gest??o ativa de seus portf??lios poderiam incluir o PMI como um dos indicadores a serem observados na estrat??gia de aloca????o

In this period, the years of 2006 and 2007 were marked by particularly strong concentration of IPOs in the Brazilian market, and in the same way that other companies, real estate companies turned to the stock market in an unusual high frequency to finance their operations. Specifically in the real estate industry, a high percentage of companies went public in these two years: 60% of all companies in the sector. Studies on the annomalies due to IPOs usually address the undervaluation of the issuing companies, the concentrated emission at hot market times (Market Timing) and the poor performance of stocks and operations of these companies in the long run. Thus, this work aimed to investigate whether there was a relationship between the poor performance of the real estate industry in the Brazilian market and the significant number of IPOs that companies of this sector performed. For this purpose, non-financial companies from all sectors traded at BOVESPA were studied, comparing the market value divided by total assets of the companies that went public in the period with companies that was already traded. Furthermore, the behavior of the same indicator for real estate developers was contrasted with other sectors. In order to isolate any other incident effects on the test variable, different panel data regressions were estimated, controlling for risk, size, profitability, growth, years and sectors. Empirical evidence suggests that the poor performance observed in the real estate developers would be linked to the unusually high incidence of IPOs in the sector in the period, not to any particularities of these companies, directing the results primarily to issues of Market Timing in the IPO market timing, not to any operational difficulties in the real statebusiness. / When compared to other Brazilian companies traded at BOVESPA, real estate listed companies, in the period 2005-2013, had a sharp drop in market value.

Neste intervalo, os anos de 2006 e 2007 foram notadamente marcados por forte concentra????o de IPOs no mercado brasileiro, e da mesma forma que outras empresas, as incorporadoras imobili??rias recorreram com frequ??ncia pouco usual ao mercado acion??rio para financiamento de suas opera????es. Especificamente no setor de incorpora????o imobili??ria, um percentual elevado de empresas abriu capital nestes dois anos: 60% do total de empresas do setor listadas na BOVESPA. Estudos sobre anomalias decorrentes da abertura de capital costumam abordar a subavalia????o das empresas emissoras, a concentra????o das emiss??es em momentos de alta (Market Timing) e o fraco desempenho das a????es e opera????es destas empresas no longo prazo. Assim, esta disserta????o teve como objetivo principal investigar se houve rela????o entre o fraco desempenho do setor de incorpora????o imobili??ria no mercado acion??rio brasileiro com a expressiva quantidade de IPOs que as empresas que comp??em o setor realizaram. Com este objetivo, foram estudadas empresas n??o financeiras de todos os setores negociadas na BOVESPA, comparando-se o valor de mercado sobre ativo total das empresas que abriram capital no per??odo com o de empresas que j?? possu??am capital aberto. Ademais, verificou-se o comportamento do mesmo indicador para incorporadoras imobili??rias, contrastando-as com empresas de outros setores. Com a finalidade de isolar outros efeitos incidentes sobre a vari??vel de teste, diferentes regress??es com dados em painel foram estimadas, controlando-se risco, tamanho, rentabilidade, crescimento, anos e setores. Os resultados encontrados sugerem que, em m??dia, as empresas que recorreram ao mercado acion??rio, realizando IPOs entre 2005 e 2013, iniciaram o per??odo sobrevalorizadas, ou seja, com valor de mercado sobre ativo total superior ??s demais, sendo que esse valor teve forte decr??scimo nos anos seguintes. As evid??ncias emp??ricas sugerem que o fraco desempenho observado nas incorporadoras imobili??rias estaria ligado ?? anormalmente elevada incid??ncia de IPOs no setor no per??odo, e n??o a particularidades destas empresas, direcionando os resultados principalmente para quest??es de Market Timing nos IPOs, e n??o a eventuais dificuldades operacionais no ramo de atividade de incorpora????o imobili??ria.

Several economic factors are mentioned to justify investments in ADR programs. Moreover, this study seeks to understand if the cross listing is a channel of influence in conservatism. It is an ex-post-facto research that seeks to observe in Brazilian ADRs issuers a behavior more conservative than in the rest of the companies traded on BOVESPA, between the period of 2008 to 2013. The econometric model of Basu (1997) was used to measure the degree of conservatism. This model evaluates whether reported earnings incorporate bad news faster than good news, considering as a proxy for the bad news the negative stock returns. Therefore, we test the relationship of reported earnings with simple stock returns. It was found with the application of the model that there are signs that Brazilian ADRs issuers are more conservative, even when they adopt practices of earnings management (ECKEL, 1981). The results, however, do not show statistical significance / Este trabalho investigou a capacidade que a listagem dupla, por meio da emiss??o de ADR (American Depositary Receipt), tem para alterar a influ??ncia do ambiente institucional no poder discricion??rio. Diversos fatores econ??micos s??o apontados para justificar os investimentos em programas de ADRs. Por outro lado, este estudo objetiva compreender se a listagem dupla ?? um canal de influ??ncia no conservadorismo. Trata-se de pesquisa ex-post-facto que busca observar nas emissoras de ADRs brasileiras um comportamento mais conservador do que o das demais empresas negociadas na BOVESPA, entre o per??odo de 2008 a 2013. Utilizou-se o modelo econom??trico de Basu (1997) para mensurar o grau de conservadorismo. Este modelo avalia se o lucro divulgado incorpora m??s not??cias mais rapidamente do que as boas not??cias, considerando como proxy para as m??s not??cias o retorno negativo das a????es. Com isto, testa-se a rela????o do lucro divulgado com o retorno simples das a????es. Verificou-se com a aplica????o do referido modelo que existem sinais de que as emissoras de ADRs brasileiras s??o mais conservadoras, mesmo quando adotam pr??ticas de gerenciamento de resultados (ECKEL, 1981).

Once they are closest to the population, the decisions made at the municipal level are readily perceived by users and citizens. On the other hand, the social demands and the management of the administrative structure need efficient financial management and a constant search for resources. Additionally, the 9.478/97 Act, which amended the mode of distribution of oil revenues, brought to some municipalities, a new frontier of resources available by the distribution of oil royalties. Given this new frontier of resources, one wonders whether there is not relaxation in fiscal effort and an increasing inefficiency in the management of the administrative machinery by the benefited municipalities. The aim of this work is verify if petroleum revenues cause distortions in the way municipalities run their fiscal effort, that is, if the oil royalties contribute to increase inefficiencies in the municipalities involved in their search for the own revenues and their expense management. For this work, we selected 56 municipalities of the State of S??o Paulo which have been received the distribution of oil revenues during the period between the years 2005 to 2012. The efficiency of municipalities was obtained from a non-parametric production frontier model, the Data Envelopment Analysis - DEA, creating a ranking of the S??o Paulo municipalities which received oil royalties. Given the distribution rules of oil royalties imposed by the regulatory framework, the results showed the values distributed to S??o Paulo municipalities have great variability and has been showed relevant only in a few municipalities. There was no significant difference in the tax effort of the municipalities affected by the variable oil royalites. However, several factors related to municipal management indicated that such rents can contribute to increase inefficiencies in the management of municipal administrative machinery / A descentraliza????o federativa, promovida pela Constitui????o Federal de 1988, elevou os Munic??pios brasileiros ao importante papel na dissemina????o das pol??ticas p??blicas. Por estarem mais pr??ximos da popula????o, as decis??es realizadas na esfera municipal s??o prontamente percebidas pelos usu??rios e pelos cidad??os. Por outro lado, as demandas sociais e a administra????o da m??quina administrativa necessitam de uma gest??o financeira eficiente e uma constante busca por recursos. Adicionalmente, a Lei 9.478/97, que alterou o modo de distribui????o das rendas do petr??leo, trouxe, para alguns Munic??pios, uma nova fronteira de recursos, disponibilizada pela distribui????o dos royalties de petr??leo. Diante dessa nova fronteira de recursos, questiona-se se n??o h??, por parte dos Munic??pios beneficiados, um relaxamento no esfor??o fiscal e o aumento da inefici??ncia na gest??o da m??quina administrativa. Neste trabalho objetiva-se verificar se as rendas do petr??leo provocam distor????es na forma como os Munic??pios s??o conduzidos em seu esfor??o fiscal, ou seja, se os royalties de petr??leo contribuem para o aumento das inefici??ncias nos Munic??pios envolvidos em sua busca pelas receitas pr??prias e na sua gest??o de despesas. Para a realiza????o deste trabalho, foram selecionados 56 Munic??pios do Estado de S??o Paulo, contemplados pela distribui????o das rendas do petr??leo durante o per??odo compreendido entre os anos de 2005 a 2012. A efici??ncia dos Munic??pios foi obtida a partir de um modelo de fronteira de produ????o n??o param??trico, a An??lise Envolt??ria de Dados, criando um ranking dos Munic??pios paulistas beneficiados pelos royalties de petr??leo. Os resultados mostraram que, diante das regras de distribui????o dos royalties de petr??leo impostas pelo marco regulat??rio, os valores distribu??dos aos Munic??pios paulistas possuem grande variabilidade e s??o relevantes apenas em poucos Munic??pios. N??o houve diferen??a significativa no esfor??o fiscal dos Munic??pios afetados pela vari??vel royalites de petr??leo. No entanto, diversos fatores ligados ?? gest??o municipal indicaram que tais rendas contribuem para aumentar as inefici??ncias na gest??o da m??quina administrativa municipal

This is a documental research, of an exploratory field, and qualitative approach. The Brazilian Court of Audit - TCU judgments over annual rendering of accounts submitted by Management Units - UG served as secondary resource. The time range covered the period from 2001 to 2006. The population of interest was limited to the 119 UG of the Direct, Autarchic and Foundational Administration, placed at S??o Paulo State. The selection of the research resource determined the option for the content analysis technique, in its categorical model, processed over the decisions enclosed in each sentence. The identification numbers of the rendering of accounts were raised by means of the jurisprudence consult tool available on the TCU's web page. The access to the electronic register of the document allowed the collection of associated ruling act. The model proposed to represent the reflexes assumes that they take place under the form of impacts and under the form of shortcuts adopted by managers. The question was to check whether it is possible to recognize categories of impacts or shortcuts on TCU's decisions, subject to be associated with the sequestration's possible presence. From this recognition on, the research evaluates the variations on these categories occurrences according to a management area corresponding classification, the UG's branch of sphere and the superior organ of subordination. The TCU incapacity to impose the compliance of its decisions is explored by the recurrences observation of one same category over the same UG throughout the time range of the research. The research adopts a deductive-hypothetic approach. The question of research was separated into a set of investigative questions. A null hypothesis was linked to each investigative question. The categories variables and attributes of interest within each hypothesis, as well as the suitable measurement indexes and indicators, were declared. The Chi-square nonparametric goodness-of-fit test was applied over the hypothesis. The results revealed that the impacts do not shine through the TCU's decisions. The shortcuts taken by managers related to the sequestration's possible presence were recognized. There is a variation of these shortcuts incidence among management areas, and it confirms the literature critics. The incidence of these shortcuts is the same among Executive and Judiciary branches, but is lower for Public Ministry. TCU's delay on judgment of rendering of accounts and the profile of UG placed in S??o Paulo State established barriers to the application of some of the tests. The predominance of accounts judged regular evidences a contradiction with literature's diagnostic. The results and limitations imposed to this research suggest new approaches and deeper analysis for future researches. / Este trabalho estuda os reflexos do contingenciamento or??ament??rio e financeiro da Uni??o sobre a gest??o dos administradores p??blicos. ?? uma pesquisa documental, de car??ter explorat??rio, e abordagem qualitativa. Os julgamentos do Tribunal de Contas da Uni??o - TCU sobre os processos de contas anuais das Unidades Gestoras - UG serviram como fonte secund??ria. O per??odo de abrang??ncia cobriu os exerc??cios de 2001 a 2006. A popula????o de interesse foi limitada ??s 119 UG da Administra????o Direta, Aut??rquica e Fundacional, localizadas no Estado de S??o Paulo. A escolha da fonte da pesquisa determinou a escolha da t??cnica de an??lise de conte??do, em sua forma categorial, processada sobre as determina????es contidas em cada um dos julgados. Os n??meros de identifica????o dos processos de contas foram levantados por meio de consulta ?? jurisprud??ncia no site do TCU. O acesso ao documento eletr??nico de registro do processo permitiu o levantamento dos dados das delibera????es associadas. O modelo de representa????o dos reflexos concebido parte do pressuposto que estes se manifestam sob a forma de impactos e sob a forma de artif??cios adotados pelos gestores. O problema foi verificar se ?? poss??vel reconhecer categorias de impactos ou de artif??cios nas determina????es do TCU pass??veis de associa????o com a possibilidade da presen??a do contingenciamento. A partir desse reconhecimento, a pesquisa avalia as varia????es nas ocorr??ncias dessas categorias segundo a classifica????o na ??rea de gest??o correspondente, a esfera de Poder e o ??rg??o superior hier??rquico das UG. A incapacidade do TCU em impor o cumprimento de suas determina????es ?? explorada por meio das observa????es de reincid??ncia de uma mesma categoria sobre uma mesma UG ao longo do per??odo de abrang??ncia da pesquisa. A pesquisa adota uma abordagem metodol??gica hipot??tica-dedutiva. A quest??o de pesquisa foi desdobrada em quest??es investigativas. Uma hip??tese nula foi associada a cada quest??o investigativa. As vari??veis categoriais e os atributos de interesse presentes em cada hip??tese, assim como os ??ndices e indicadores de mensura????o aplic??veis, foram declarados. O teste n??o-param??trico de associa????o do Qui-Quadrado foi aplicado sobre as hip??teses. Os resultados revelaram que os impactos n??o transparecem nas determina????es do TCU. Os artif??cios adotados pelos gestores associados ?? possibilidade de presen??a do contingenciamento foram reconhecidos. H?? varia????o na incid??ncia desses artif??cios entre as ??reas de gest??o, e esta confirma as cr??ticas encontradas na literatura. A incid??ncia desses artif??cios ?? a mesma entre Executivo e Judici??rio, mas ?? menor para o Minist??rio P??blico. O atraso no julgamento dos processos de contas pelo TCU e o perfil das UG localizadas no estado de S??o Paulo constitu??ram obst??culos ?? aplica????o de alguns dos testes.
