Abstract
Portuguese Abstract: Avaliamos o nível e a evolução da desigualdade de renda no Brasil por meio da combinação de dados da declaração de imposto de renda e das PNAD. Concluímos que a desigualdade de renda no país é mais alta do que se estimava por pesquisas domiciliares e permaneceu muito estável entre 2006 e 2012. Nossos resultados mostraram-se robustos a mudanças de metodologia e fontes de dados.
English Abstract: We combine data from household surveys and tax records to examine the level and the evolution of the income distribution in Brazil. We conclude that income inequality in the country is higher than that estimated by household surveys, and remained stable between 2006 and 2012. Our results seem to be robust to changes in the methodology and to the use of different data sources.
