As a methodological reference, the article presents the approach proposed by Amaral and Pinto (2010), statistical information of the UEs present in the data (statistical abstracts and microdata) of the National Institute for Educational Studies and Research Anisio Teixeira (Inep), and of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (Capes).
