Resumo: The aim of this study is to investigate the hypothesis that smoking reduces earnings. We use data from the Special Survey on Tobacco Addiction, which was jointly carried out with the 2008 Brazilian National Household Sample Survey. Our results support the hypothesis that smoking reduces wages. Furthermore, we found that about two-thirds of wage differential between male smokers and non-smokers is due to observable characteristics.

Utilizamos dados da Pesquisa Especial de Tabagismo (PETab) realizada durante a PNAD 2008. Nossos resultados sustentam a hipótese de que fumar cigarro afeta negativamente o salário. Além disso, encontramos que as características observáveis explicam aproximadamente dois terços do diferencial salarial observado entrehomens fumantes e não-fumantes.Universidade de São Paulo, FEA-RP/USP2019-06-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://www.revistas.usp.br/ecoa/article/view/14256810.11606/1980-5330/ea142568Economia Aplicada; Vol. 23 No. 2 (2019); 127-144Economia Aplicada; Vol. 23 Núm. 2 (2019); 127-144Economia Aplicada; v. 23 n. 2 (2019); 127-1441980-53301413-8050reponame:Economia Aplicadainstname:Universidade de São Paulo (USP)instacron:USPenghttps://www.revistas.usp.br/ecoa/article/view/142568/161034Copyright (c) 2019 Economia Aplicadainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessJustus, MarceloSant'Anna, ElderDavanzo, Eloá SalesMoreira, Gustavo Carvalho2020-08-04T15:57:16Zoai:revistas.usp.br:article/142568Revistahttps://www.revistas.usp.br/ecoaPUBhttps://www.revistas.usp.br/ecoa/oai||revecap@usp.br1980-53301413-8050opendoar:2023-09-13T12:17:10.408533Economia Aplicada - Universidade de São Paulo (USP)false
