DIFERENCIAIS DE RENDIMENTOS ENTRE ATIVIDADES AGRÍCOLAS E NÃO AGRÍCOLAS NO MEIO RURAL DO BRASIL

Abstract

The objective of this study is to estimate income differentials between agricultural and non-agricultural activities in rural areas of the country. The data used are from PNAD (2015) and the models used were Blinder-Oaxaca and RIF Regression. It can be seen that non-agricultural activities generate higher incomes when compared to agricultural ones. Of all variables used in the sample, schooling is the one that best explains the fact that non-agricultural activities earn higher incomes than agricultural ones.
