Análisis de los determinantes y costos de la informalidad en las pequeñas empresas: Un estudio empírico para el Perú

Artikel

Informality in small businesses is a widespread phenomenon in Latin American countries. In Peru it represents 50% of the business units, a situation that implies the knowledge of the determinants of this reality to contribute to the design of public policies. Thus, the present work studies the variables related to the productive performance and the life quality of the company owner's home as elements highly related to informality. In addition, it is evaluated whether the employer's decision about informality responds to a maximization of profits or, on the contrary, it is due to exclusion because the current legislation is apart from the real nature of the business unit. The conclusions allow observing that the characteristics of the home facilitate the formality and that the existing tax regulatory framework excludes small companies, which experience lower levels of profit compared to formal companies with similar characteristics.
