Diferenciais de salários entre os setores público e privado da economia brasileira

Resumo

This article aims to test the use of a chosen methodology of wage differentials
calculation between public and private sectors searching the answer to a main
question: does the brazilian public sector pay higher wages to its workers than the
private sector? If true, at what percentage and why? Based on the hypothesis that
wage differentials do in fact exist and that they are high, the author tries to measure
them with the help of several revelant variables, in order to distinguish the wage
differentials derived from differentiated labor structures and those resulted from
the application of distinguished wage-policies in each sector.
