Abstract

The objective of this study is to analyze the income differential of entrepreneurs and wage earners in the South region of Brazil, considering the importance of this subject so that efficient public policies can be realized in relation to incentives to entrepreneurship. For this purpose, the National Survey of Household Survey (PNAD-2015) database of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) is used. The method used consists of a probabilistic model with normal distribution (probit) as well as a model for the correction of the selection bias (heckit). Finally, the results indicate that the entrepreneur in the South region receives, on average, a higher remuneration than an individual randomly distributed in the sample.
