Business informality in Colombia: an obstacle for creative destruction
This document studies the effects of business informality in terms of distortions in resource absorption, particularly labor, by informal companies. It also assesses the consequences of lower demand for labor of informal firms over aggregate productivity. With firm level data from the DANE Micro-est...

It also assesses the consequences of lower demand for labor of informal firms over aggregate productivity. With firm level data from the DANE Micro-establishments Survey, a matching exercise between formal and informal firms is conducted. It was found that the latter hire fewer employees than formal firms with the same characteristics, including Total Factor Productivity. The matching results allow using counterfactual demands of labor of informal firms to calculate and compare the real and counterfactual aggregate productivity levels. The results indicate that if informal firms would demand the amount of employment demanded by similar formal firms, market share distribution of firms would improve and this would positively affect aggregate productivity.Este documento estudia los efectos de la informalidad empresarial en términos de distorsiones en la absorción de recursos, en particular de trabajo, por parte de las firmas informales. También evalúa las consecuencias de la menor demanda de trabajo de las firmas informales sobre la productividad agregada. A partir de datos a nivel de la firma de la Encuesta de Microestablecimientos del DANE, se realiza un ejercicio de emparejamiento entre firmas formales e informales. Se encuentra que estas últimas contratan menos empleados que firmas formales con iguales características, entre éstas productividad total de los factores. Los resultados del emparejamiento permiten usar las demandas de trabajo contrafactuales de las firmas informales para calcular y comparar los niveles de productividad agregada real y contrafactual. Los resultados indican que si las firmas informales demandaran la cantidad de empleo que demandan las firmas formales similares, mejoraría la distribución de participación de mercado a través de las firmas, y esto impulsaría la productividad agregada positivamente.36 páginasapplication/pdfengUniversidad de los Andes, Facultad de Economía, CEDEDocumentos CEDE No. 17 Junio de 2010https://ideas.repec.org/p/col/000089/007198.htmlBusiness informality in Colombia: an obstacle for creative destructionInformalidad empresarial en Colombia: un obstáculo a la destrucción creativaDocumento de trabajoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaperhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_8042http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85Texthttps://purl.org/redcol/resource_type/WPInformal sectorLabor demandFactor demandAggregate productivityColombiaEconomía informal - ColombiaMercado laboral - ColombiaProductividad del trabajo - ColombiaJ23, O17, O47, D24Facultad de EconomíaPublicationTEXTdcede2010-17.pdf.txtdcede2010-17.pdf.txtExtracted texttext/plain82013https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/6c1ca4e0-62bb-4788-a6f3-2ffcf0f2a8fc/downloadacabf82dc96e133b091e45e9b3602eb3MD54ORIGINALdcede2010-17.pdfdcede2010-17.pdfapplication/pdf486161https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/e57429ed-df26-4d22-be52-3c3017ed87fa/download83dde08cd1223f86bd467140f6eb6759MD51THUMBNAILdcede2010-17.pdf.jpgdcede2010-17.pdf.jpgIM Thumbnailimage/jpeg27773https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/981dc31f-1eea-4d28-8389-4bce67bd26b8/download820424de7a20c358d1d655d2cb22f888MD551992/8172oai:repositorio.uniandes.edu.co:1992/81722024-06-04 15:46:38.601http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/open.accesshttps://repositorio.uniandes.edu.coRepositorio institucional Sénecaadminrepositorio@uniandes.edu.co |
