摘要

非正规是哥伦比亚的一个普遍问题，几乎有50%的工人受雇于该部门。这可能是解决失业问题的办法，但除非个人在非正规部门具有比较优势，否则这是一场输/输的游戏。本文利用哥伦比亚大综合家庭调查(GIHS)的信息，采用半参数方法分析了2008年4月和2017年4月两个不同时期城市正规部门和非正规部门之间的工资差距。按群估计核密度函数;反事实是通过将非正式部门工人的工资与他们在正式部门工作的概率加权来产生的，以估计一个非正式部门工人如果被视为正式工人，根据他的特点可以赚多少钱。结果表明，只有一些群体(个体户和一些企业家)在正规化后会过得更好。

Analysis of the Formal/Informal Wage Inequalities in Colombia: A Semiparametric Approach

Informality is a common problem in Colombia, with almost 50 percent of the workers employed in this sector. This may be a solution for unemployment, but it is a lose/lose game unless the individuals have a comparative advantage in the informal sector. This article uses information from the Colombian Great Integrated Household Survey (GIHS) to analyze the wage gap between formal and informal urban sectors in two different periods, 2008:4 and 2017:4, using a semiparametric approach. Kernel density functions by groups are estimated; counterfactuals are generated by weighting wages of informal sector workers by their probability of working in the formal sector, to estimate how much an informal sector worker could make if treated as formal, according to his characteristics. The results indicate that only some groups (self-employed and some entrepreneurs) are better off if formalized.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Applied Social Science publishes research articles, essays, research reports, teaching notes, and book reviews on a wide range of topics of interest to the social science practitioner. Specifically, we encourage submission of manuscripts that, in a concrete way, apply social science or critically reflect on the application of social science. Authors must address how they either improved a social condition or propose to do so, based on social science research.
