Keywords in Portuguese

Abstract in Portuguese
Esta dissertação busca avaliar o comportamento da renda mediana e da desigualdade de rendimentos tratando o problema de seleção, através de uma abordagem ainda não utilizada em estudos semelhantes no Brasil. A metodologia empregada busca tratar o problema de seleção utilizando apenas hipóteses fracas e pautadas em argumentos econômicos, estimando os menores intervalos possíveis para a distribuição de renda da população. Os resultados obtidos mostram que as medianas dos rendimentos potenciais em 2002 e 2004 eram inferiores aos de 1996. Adicionalmente, a desigualdade de renda potencial recuou no Brasil entre 1996 e 2006.

Abstract in English
This dissertation aims to evaluate the median income and income inequality behavior treating the selection problem with an approach not yet used in similar studies in Brazil. The present methodology tries to address the selection problem using only weak assumptions based on economic arguments, estimating the smallest possible intervals for the population income distribution. The results show that the mean potential income of 2002 and 2004 was smaller than the one of 1996. Additionally, the potential income inequality in Brazil fell from 1996 to 2006.
