Abstract

This article uses a new dataset about some "cidades satelites" in the Distrito Federal State. WE use these data to estimate a mincer equation and infer about spatial discrimination in the Distrito Federal labor market. We find severe wage punishment against individuals that live in Taguatinga (38%), Ceilandia (52%) and Sobradinho (58%) in relation to Brasilia. These results were robusts to both instrumental variable and 3 stages least squares estimation.
