摘要

本文试图了解数字化(以ICT资本和互联网普及率衡量)是否有助于减少非正式性对劳动生产率增长的负面影响,特别是在新兴市场;发展中国家。非正式性被认为是新兴国家生产率增长的一个拖累。发展中国家。我们认为,增加数字技术的使用可以帮助非正规部门降低交易和协调成本;加强非正规部门和正规部门之间的联系;促进非正规部门融入全球价值链;总体上也增加了经济正规化的潜力——所有这些都可能促进总生产率的增长。我们使用1997-2017年118个国家的面板数据进行的计量经济分析提供了一些证据,证明信息通信技术资本深化有助于减少非正式性对总生产率增长的负面影响。然而,与非正式性的负面影响相比,这种调节作用是适度的,这表明新兴市场需要更快、更有力地开展数字化工作。发展中经济体。此外,必须对技能和基础设施等互补因素进行投资,以充分释放信息通信技术在减少非正式性负面影响方面的潜力。

Informality and aggregate labor productivity growth: Does ICT moderate the relationship?

This paper attempts to understand whether digitization, measured in terms of ICT capital and penetration of the internet, helps reduce the negative impact of informality on labor productivity growth, especially in emerging & developing countries. Informality is argued to be a drag on productivity growth in emerging & developing countries. We argue that increased use of digital technologies can help informal sector reduce transaction and coordination costs; enhance the linkages between the informal and formal sectors; facilitate the integration of the informal sector in the global value chain; and also increase the potential for the formalization of the economy in general - all of these are likely to contribute to aggregate productivity growth. Our econometric analysis using panel data for 118 countries from 1997-2017 provides some evidence of ICT capital deepening helping to reduce informality's negative impact on aggregate productivity growth. However, the moderating effect is modest compared to the magnitude of the negative impact of informality, indicating the need for a faster and more intense digitization efforts in emerging & developing economies. Moreover, investments in complementary factors including skills and infrastructure are imperative to fully unleash the potential of ICT in reducing the negative impact of informality.
