LOBAO, Júlio. Beliefs and Perceptions of Future Investors: A Contribution to Social Studies in Finance. Revista Crítica de Ciências Sociais [online]. 2019, n.118, pp.25-52. ISSN 2182-7435.  https://doi.org/0000-0001-5896-9648.

In the field of the Sociology of Finance, the beliefs and perceptions of individuals about to begin investing in financial markets has not been an issue thoroughly explored in the literature. In this article, we present new evidence about the opinions of future investors taken from a survey of 177 university students from 2014-2016. The results suggest that individuals have inconsistent perceptions about the financial markets; in addition, there is conflict between the abstract need for regulation and the subjective consequences arising from the application of regulatory practices.
