dc.description.abstract | We employ a comprehensive matched employer-employee data set for Brazil to analyze wagedeterminants and compare results to Abowd, Kramarz, Margolis and Troske (2001) forFrench and U.S. manufacturing. Returns to education and experience in Brazilianmanufacturing exceed those of the other countries, while occupation differentials are similar.The gender differential in Brazilian and U.S. manufacturing coincides, and is considerablysmaller than in France. Estimates are unaffected by selectivity of Brazilian workers intoformal employment. The links between firm performance and wage components in Brazilresemble those of France. Worker characteristics have comparable explanatory power formanufacturing wage variability in the three countries but establishment-fixed effects explainrelatively less of the Brazilian wage variation. Despite the inclusion of establishment effects,regressors predict at most sixty percent of wage variability in any Brazilian sector, suggestingthat explanations for earnings variability ought to focus on worker characteristics, notestablishment wage policies. | en |
