Resumo: This paper investigates self-selection of returnees migrants in Brazil, from 2001 to 2010. We find evidence of the impact of inequality on selfselection through two opposing channels. First, migrations costs prevent low-skilled individuals from emigrating, which support positive selection. This selection is accentuated in locations with high inequality. Secondly, we find that low-skilled individuals have wage incentives to emigrate from states with relative high inequality, implying a negative impact on selection. All in all, we find more important effects of migration costs, with the predominance of positive selection

Verificou-se empiricamente o impacto da desigualdade de renda na autosseleção através de dois canais opostos. Em primeiro lugar, os custos de migração impedem indivíduos com baixa qualificação de emigrar, o que contribui para a seleção positiva. Essa seleção é acentuada em locais com muita desigualdade. Em segundo lugar, indivíduos com baixa qualificação têm incentivos salariais para emigrar de estados mais desiguais, o que contribui para a seleção negativa. Considerando os dois canais, os efeitos dos custos de emigração são mais importantes, com predominância da seleção positivaUniversidade de São Paulo, FEA-RP/USP2016-09-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://www.revistas.usp.br/ecoa/article/view/12440010.11606/1413-8050/ea146640Economia Aplicada; Vol. 20 No. 3 (2016); 311-331Economia Aplicada; Vol. 20 Núm. 3 (2016); 311-331Economia Aplicada; v. 20 n. 3 (2016); 311-3311980-53301413-8050reponame:Economia Aplicadainstname:Universidade de São Paulo (USP)instacron:USPenghttps://www.revistas.usp.br/ecoa/article/view/124400/120887Copyright (c) 2016 Economia Aplicadainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTai, Silvio H.
