Abstract

This article analyzes the influence exercised by the so-called “American model”
on the setting up of the institutional framework which allowed the consolidation of scientific
competence in Economics in Brazil. It shows the principal mechanisms through which
the patterns established in the developed countries, in the USA in particular, were incorporated
into the studies of Economics in Brazil; and also, the resistance met by the process of
internationalization or Americanization in some areas of the university environment in the
country. The data and tables organized offer a quantitative dimension of this process.
