Putting a price on tenure
Government employees in Brazil are granted tenure after three years on the job. Firing a tenured government employee is all but impossible, so tenure is a big employee benefit. But exactly how big is it? In other words: how much money is tenure worth to a government employee in Brazil? No one has ever attempted to answer that question. I do that in this paper. I use a modified version of the Sharpe ratio to estimate what the risk-adjusted salaries of government workers should be. The difference between actual salary and risk-adjusted salary gives us an estimate of how much tenure is worth to each employee. I find that in the 2005-2019 period the monthly value of tenure was 3980 reais to the median federal government employee, 1971 reais to the median state government employee, and 500 reais to the median municipal government employee.
