          Abstract

          Resumo: O trabalho tem como objetivo analisar em que medida incentivos de mercado de trabalho influenciam as escolhas de carreiras dos candidatos às vagas na Universidade Federal de Pernambuco,no vestibular para acesso a esta no ano de 2009. Com base em um amplo banco de informações a respeito do universo de candidatos e da estimação de parâmetros de modelos econométricos de múltipla escolha (logit condicional e mixed logit), os resultados indicam que as escolhas dos candidatos são afetadas positivamente pelos níveis de rendimento e pela participação das carreiras no emprego total de nível superior e, negativamente, pelo desvio padrão dos rendimentos. Tais influências permanecem significativas nas regressões mesmo após a inclusão de um grande conjunto de variáveis com características pessoais, familiares e do ambiente socialdos indivíduos.

          Abstract: The study aims to examine if and how much labor market incentives affect the choices of degrees by candidates to a position of college student in the Federal University of Pernambuco. By using a unique database with information on a considerable set of characteristics of the candidates applying for the academic year of 2009 and parameter estimation of multiple choice econometric models (conditional logit and mixed logit), the investigation provides evidence that candidates' choices are positively affected by the level of earnings and by the participation of fields of study in total college employment, and negatively by the standard deviation of earnings.These results remain significant and even stronger after inclusion of a large set of personal, familiar and social environment control variables in the regressions.
