ABSTRACT

This article provides new evidence for the sources of regional income inequalities in Brazil throughout the wage distribution, taking into account the regional differentials in purchasing power. We use a unique and recent regional purchasing power index to adjust nominal values of Brazilian metropolitan regions and consider recentred influence function (RIF) regressions to measure the contributions of different determinants of wages to the inequality between the São Paulo metropolitan region in the Southeast (the richest one, apart from Brasília) and each of the most important metropolitan regions of the Northeast and North (Fortaleza, Recife, Salvador and Belém).

摘要

本文考虑到购买力的地区差异，为整个工资分配中巴西地区收入不平等的根源提供了新的证据。我们使用独特的近期区域购买力指数来调整巴西大都市地区的名义价值，并考虑近期影响函数 (RIF) 回归来衡量不同工资决定因素对东南部圣保罗大都市地区之间不平等的贡献（最富有的地区，除了巴西利亚）和东北部和北部最重要的大都市区（福塔莱萨、累西腓、萨尔瓦多和贝伦）。
