Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyze the relation between the inbreeding of the coordinators and the grades conceded in the CAPES assessment of Brazilian Graduate Accounting Programs. Method: Regarding the data analysis, the research is classified as descriptive and the approach is quantitative. The sample consisted of 23 coordinators of Graduate courses in Brazilian regions. For the data analysis, Correspondence Analysis (ANACOR) was used. Results: The results evidenced proximity between the Mobile and Pure Endogenous coordinators and “Grade 3”, between Non-Endogenous coordinators and “Grade 4” and “Grade 5” in the Master’s programs, evidencing that inbreeding is related with the CAPES grades. Contributions: Although the literature review appoints that inbreeding is one of the negative aspects for research performance, it is concluded that the practice can favor an outstanding position in research for the institution. In addition, we believe that the coordinators’ shift to non-Brazilian universities may have influenced the fact that their universities of origin offer doctoral programs or not. Thus, it is possible that the shift to reputable universities contributes to improve accounting research and the grade of the doctoral programs at their universities of origin.
