O impacto da escolaridade sobre a distribuição de renda

Resumo

This paper investigates the impact of education on income distribution of Brazilian states and regions, using a semi parametric method, following Dinardo, Fortin and Lemieux (1996) and dataset from the PNAD 1999. Contrafactual densities were constructed weighting the distribution of the poorest region/state (Northeast / Ceará) by the profile of education in the richer one (Southeast / São Paulo). Results: between 12% and 36% of the difference in income is explained by the educational differences; the weighting by education increased by about 55% the average income in counterfactuals; the counterfactual income of the Northeast amounts to 93% of the average Brazilian income; the higher the percentile considered income, the greater the contribution of the difference in schooling for the difference in income; and the income dispersion of the poorest regions increases when they provide the level of schooling of the richest regions, while the wage profile of the region is kept constant.
