PurposeThis paper aims to provide empirical evidence for using the prospect theory (PT) basic assumptions in the Argentine context. Mainly, this study analysed the financial decision-making process in students of the economic-administrative academic area of two universities, one public and one private, in Córdoba.Design/methodology/approachThe analysis methodology included (1) the descriptive statistical analysis to identify the presence of the certainty, reflection and isolation effects; (2) the construction of a set of indicators on the application of the PT; (3) the chi-squared independence test, to determine if the decisions made are independent of the degree course taken; (4) the non-parametric Kruskal–Wallis test, to determine if the decisions made by individuals vary according to the semesters taken or students' levels of progress; and (5) the non-parametric Mann–Whitney test, to determine if there are differences between the decisions made by men and women.FindingsThe empirical results provided evidence on the effects of certainty, reflection and isolation in both universities, concluding that the study participants make financial decisions in situations of uncertainty based more on PT than on expected utility theory.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the empirical evidence in a different Latin-American context, confirming that individuals make financial decisions based on the PT independently of their degree course, semester, level of advance, gender or the kind of university where they belong (public or private).

“…No contexto brasileiro, os estudos sobre rendimento acadêmico no ensino superior ainda são limitados e restritos, normalmente, a uma área do conhecimento, como engenharia (CUNHA; CARILLHO, 2005), administração (SOARES; BARBEDO, 2013) Ciências Exatas e Tecnológicas, Ciências Biológicas e Humanidades.…”

À minha querida amiga Cristiana Di Primio Gonçalves, seu marido, Leandro, e filho, João Lucas, por me acolherem em sua casa em minha estada em Ribeirão Preto.Ao meu amigo-irmão, Prof. Dr. Fabiano Palhares Galão, por me incentivar e me fazer acreditar no meu potencial.Aos funcionários e professores da FEA-RP, por me propiciarem as condições necessárias para o meu desenvolvimento profissional.Aos professores da Universidade Estadual de Londrina, que passaram seus conhecimentos durante minha graduação e com quem agora posso compartilhar, fazendo parte dessa equipe.A mente que se abre a uma nova ideia jamais voltará ao seu tamanho original. Brazil has experienced, in the past decades, an exponential growth in higher education, with increasing number of institutions, courses, vacancies and enrollment. However, even with such an expansion, college access is still restricted to a few, especially in public universities. Universities use selection processes for entrance in order to choose the most suitable candidates, so thus the chances of success in higher education increase. In this sense, this work was to examine the relationship between performance in the university entrance exam and academic achievement of students of a public university; the performance in the entrance exam was measured by the final score of the student for entrance into the university and academic achievement, the overall average of students who finish the course in their selected careers. This goal was achieved by means of a quantitative study using data from 6055 entering students in 2005, 2006 and 2007, in 12 career areas of Exact and Technological Sciences, Biological Sciences and Humanities. Initial data showed that the average age of entering students is 20 years, most of which were men (64.3%), single (96.5%), with family income up to $ 3,000.00 (59.3%), whose parents, mostly, went to higher education, and elementary and secondary education attended in private schools. From the total students entering the period of analysis, 4237 had university course until the time of data analysis; so, using the data of the graduating students, 4 regression models, one general model and one for each career area were prepared, that is, Exact and Technological Sciences, Biological Sciences and Humanities. It was concluded that the performance in the entrance exam is positively related to academic performance, regardless of career field, that is, better performance in the entrance exam is associated with better academic performance in college. In addition, gender, color, quantity of goods, the type of middle and high school attended by the student, the amount of entrance exams and the cutoff for entrance into careers help explain the academic performance of the graduates from the searched university.

“…Em termos práticos, o estudo poderá ser utilizado para o desenvolvimento de ações, que busquem auxiliar na tomada de decisão dos estudantes e considerar a influência dos aspectos comportamentais. Assim, as universidades, por exemplo, poderão investir na criação de um currículo que permita ao estudante aprofundarse nessas questões, visto que as mesmas podem ter relação com o desempenho acadêmico (Soares & Barbedo, 2013).…”

A tomada de decisão financeira é um dos aspectos estudados pelas Finanças Comportamentais, que partem do pressuposto da racionalidade limitada dos indivíduos. Considerando especificamente os estudantes, pode-se compreender a validade dos julgamentos realizados, sendo um auxílio na atuação profissional dos mesmos. Assim, o presente estudo buscou analisar os vieses comportamentais de aversão à perda e excesso de confiança nos estudantes do Curso de Administração de uma Universidade do Rio Grande do Sul sob a ótica do gênero. O primeiro viés faz com que os indivíduos corram riscos mais freqüentes em suas decisões, já o segundo, faz com que os mesmos confiem mais do que deveriam em seus próprios conhecimentos e opiniões. Realizou-se uma pesquisa survey composta por 81 respondentes, a partir de um questionário estruturado, o qual abordou os vieses comportamentais e questões de perfil. Por meio da análise foi possível observar que os estudantes possuem os vieses analisados e que estes afetam a tomada de decisão. Sob a ótica do gênero, percebeu-se que não há diferença.
