Abstract: Abstract We use some modern scientometrics tools to detect which articles written in co-authorship are the most influential in the finance theory literature from 1896 to 2006. To develop a rank of these most cited and influential co-authorships, we use four metrics of complex network statistics: the weighted degree (the sum of weighted indegree and weighted out-degree) and the PageRank™. The database was obtained from bibliographies selected by two historians of economic-financial thought: Gonçalo Fonseca and Peter Bernstein. The first is responsible for the largest international website about the History of Economic Thought—The History of Economic Thought of the Institute for New Economic Thinking. The second wrote the seminal book History of the Capital Market, which describes what the author called "capital ideas" of the literature about Finance and Capital Markets. The results classified, in descending order - arranged in complex networks and tables - which co-authorships were most relevant in the finance theory literature in the mentioned period.
