Abstract

Este artigo avalia a efetividade da política de salário mínimo em vários segmentos do mercado de trabalho brasileiro. Nossa técnica básica é quantificar as soluções de canto impostas pelo salário mínimo. Esses pontos são posteriormente utilizados como um mecanismo de focalização na simulação dos limites superiores dos efeitos do salário mínimo nas medidas de pobreza. Destacamos a importância de dois efeitos incomuns do salário mínimo: i) A alta porcentagem de funcionários informais que recebem exatamente um salário mínimo, isso aumenta os efeitos do mínimo sobre a pobreza; e ii) o uso do salário mínimo como numerário na determinação de salários, em particular no setor formal. Classificação JEL: J31; J38.
