  • Estimating the Effects of Formality on Mexican Informal Microfirms. A Joint Multivariate Approach Sonia Di Giannatale Gibrán Ramírez-Abarca Ricardo Smith Economía y Finanzas Roy model informal sector Microfirm behavior developing economies In this article we use a multivariate framework to estimate net profits and levels of capital and labor for informal Mexican microfirms had they been formal. We estimate a Roy model to simultaneously model three different micro- firm responses conditional on the sector (formal or informal) choice. Responses include profits and levels of labor and capital to be used in each sector. Our results in­ dicate that the formal counterfactuals of currently informal microfirms employ higher levels of labor and physical capital; yet, they do not earn higher profits. 2013 artículo científico 1665-2045 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=32329695004 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=323 Economía Mexicana.
