Heterogenous e ects of informality: An application to labor regulation policy in Russia
The paper estimates the heterogeneous returns of informality in Russia. The em-pirical strategy uses a Marginal Treatment Effect model (MTE). The data comes fromthe Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey (RLMS) and a combination of regionaldata for the period 2009-2016. I also constructed a measure...
