This paper analyses the wage differentials among workers from the cultural sector and the artists in Brazil using data from PNAD - a household survey conducted by the Brazilian Statistics Bureau (IBGE) - from 2002 to 2007. In order to identify the features that contribute to the differences we use the fixed effects estimator in a cohort pseudo panel model, paying attention to the correction of the selection bias using the Heckman's approach. In general, workers from the cultural sector and artists have higher wages than other workers. After correcting the selection bias and fixed effects, these differences are even higher. By the Oaxaca decomposition analysis, the cultural sector characteristics are the most important factor that generates these wage differences.
