Abstract
This paper estimates bivariate regressions for wages and hours worked as an alternative to the univariate Mincerian earnings equation. The bivariate vector of dependent variables included both common and specific covariates. Using individual level data from the Brazilian National Household Sample Survey (PNAD), the Student t distribution produced the best fit to the data according to information criteria and Mahalanobis distance. The bivariate estimation accounts for correlation between the dependent variables, identifies antagonistic effects from common covariates and allows assuming different bivariate distributions. Education, type of employment contract and geographical region affect wages and hours worked in opposite directions.

期刊介绍:
A Revista Brasileira de Economia (RBE) é a mais antiga publicação de Economia do Brasil, e a segunda mais antiga da América Latina. Seus fundadores foram Arizio de Viana, o primeiro editor, e Eugênio Gudin, um dos mais influentes economistas da história brasileira. A RBE foi apresentada no seu primeiro número pelo professor Luiz Simões Lopes, em uma Introdução que poderia constar ainda hoje de qualquer número da revista.
