The use of the Econom tica database in a specific statistical model for the pricing of assets of the S o Paulo State Stock Exchange (Bovespa), in the period between 1998 and 2008, that is, a 10-year interval of analysis.

The stocks used in the work were taken from the Bovespa index (Ibovespa), in order to avoid discussing companies with low liquidity and/or trading volume.
