Literature on labor economics shows the existence of wage gap between internet users and non-users. Moreover, wage gap is wider in developing countries than developed world. This paper investigates whether internet users in Brazil present higher wages compared to those outside this global network. Our results show that wage premium due to internet use in Brazil is much more like developed world than previous evidence. Gap is wider between those older and higher wages in recent years, but gender gap become irrelevant. However, unexplained factors have increased importance over the years.
