Abstract

This paper analyzes the salaries of regular and fee-based staff of the central government in Chile. It uses an unpublished database obtained through the transparency system that contains information on approximately 214,438 civil servants working in one of those two capacities in 2015, which accounts for more than 90 percent of civil servants active in 2014. Moreover, following literature, the New Income Survey Supplement (NESI) of the National Statistics Bureau (INE) was used to compare the public sector salaries to private sector salaries. After controlling for observable variables, there still is a considerable gap of 32 percent in favor of civil servants.
