Ética protestante, Propensity Score Matching, Survey dataResumo
O objetivo deste artigo é testar se a ética protestante apresenta efeito sobre o comportamento dos brasileiros em duas áreas: (i) mercado de trabalho e empreendedorismo, e (ii) estrutura familiar. Utilizaram-se os microdados do censo demográfico brasileiro de 2010. O censo apresenta um plano amostral complexo, então aplicaram-se três diferentes métodos de estimação com pareamento para amostras complexas. Os resultados mostraram que o tratamento do protestantismo apresentou efeito significativo sobre as variáveis de resultado no sentido proposto por Max Weber.
