Abstract

Propõe-se uma metodologia para conciliar as distribuições de rendimentos de todas as fontes dos indivíduos adultos do Censo 2010 e da Declaração do Imposto sobre a Renda da Pessoa Física (DIRPF) 2010. Aplica-se a metodologia e decompõe-se a desigualdade entre classes, entre regiões e entre grupos formados por atributos das pessoas. Usam-se rendimentos anualizados e informação educacional detalhada por área de formação no curso superior. Os resultados sugerem que a subestimação da renda nas pesquisas domiciliares leva à subestimação do papel das elites na desigualdade brasileira. Essas elites contribuem desproporcionalmente para a desigualdade, e as correções resultantes da conciliação aumentam ainda mais essa contribuição. We propose a methodology to conciliate the distributions of incomes of Census 2010 and of DIRPF 2010 (personal income tax reports). Applying this methodology, we decompose inequality by classes, regions and sex, race and age groups. We use annualized incomes and detailed educational information about university degrees obtained. Our results suggest that the underestimation of incomes in household surveys lead to an underestimation of the role of elites in Brazilian inequality. These elites contribute disproportionally to inequality and the correction resulting from conciliation increase even more this contribution.
