This book was released on 2006 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper applies recent advances in the study of labor market dynamics to a representative developing country with a large informal or unregulated sector, Mexico. It studies quarterly gross flows of workers over a 15-year period that includes two recoveries and recessions, including the celebrated 1995 Tequila crisis. It finds, first, that the formal or modern salaried sector shows the same procyclical job finding rate and mildly countercyclical separation behavior identified in the recent U.S. literature, and relative wage rigidity, both consistent with Shimer (2005a) and Hall (2005). The unregulated informal sector, however, shows reasonable acyclicality in the job finding rate coupled with sharp countercyclical movements in the job separation rate, consistent with standard small firm dynamics and Davis and Haltiwanger (1992 and 1999). This interaction of regulatory coverage and firm sizes, and patterns of gross worker flows thus sheds suggestive light on the roots of countercyclical job finding behavior in the U.S. literature. Second, the patterns of worker transitions between formality and informality correspond to the job-to-job dynamics observed in the United States and not to the traditional idea of informality constituting the inferior sector of a segmented market. That said, the countercyclical job finding in the formal sector combined with the acyclical job finding in informality does lead to the latter absorbing relatively more labor during downturns. Third, aggregate employment dynamics vary across the Tequila crisis and the later 2001 slowdown, suggesting that not only the composition of employment, but the nature of the shocks is important to understanding how the labor market adjusts.

Book excerpt: Some observers contend that informal employment is the only alternative that many workers have in developing countries, given the scarcity of opportunities in the competitive formal labor market. Others argue, contrary to this vision of exclusion, that workers become informal because they obtain better returns in the informal labor market. The answer to this debate might be found in the heterogeneity of informal workers group. If informal workers are separated in self-employed and salaried workers, two different visions and effects of informality arise. By using household employment surveys from Mexico, and multivariate regression methods, we analyze how wages are structured in the Mexican labor market and study whether or not the returns differ from one sector to another.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper applies recent advances in the study of labor market dynamics to a representative developing country with a large unregulated of "informal' sector, Mexico. It finds, first, that the formal salaried sector shows the same procyclical job finding rate and mildly countercyclical separation behavior identified in the recent US literature by Shimer (2005a) and Hall (2005). The unregulated informal sector, however, shows reasonable acyclicality in the job finding rate coupled with sharp countercyclical movements in the job separation rate, consistent with standard small firm dynamics and Davis and Haltiwanger (1992 and 1999). The differential behavior of regulated and unregulated sectors, and the finding of relative wage rigidity in the former, sheds suggestive light on the roots of countercyclical job finding behavior in the US. Second, the patterns of worker transitions between all sectors, formal and informal correspond to the job-to-job dynamics observed in the US and not to the traditional idea of informality constituting the inferior sector of a segmented market. That said, the counter cyclical job finding in the formal sector combined with the acyclical job finding in informality does lead to the latter absorbing relatively more labor during downturns, even as its increased separation rates drive movements in unemployment.

This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Informality in the labor market is a phenomenon that hinders productivity growth causing low tax collection and social security imbalances, among other pervasive effects to any country's economy. This situation is particularly striking in Mexico, where more than 30 million people are working either in not registered firms and/or not have access to social security. Stringent regulation that causes high transaction costs has been regarded as one of the many causes of informality in the labor market. To curb that effect, in 2012 a labor reform in Mexico was passed to improve resolution in labor conflicts, incorporate different ways of contracting, and include productivity as a way to determine job promotions. In this work, I am trying to assess if the labor market in Mexico became more flexible after the reform.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author develops a view of the informal sector in developing countries primarily as an unregulated micro-entrepreneurial sector and not as a disadvantaged residual of segmented labor markets. Drawing on recent work from Latin America, he offers alternative explanations for many of the characteristics of the informal sector customarily regarded as evidence of its inferiority.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Informality in the labor market is a phenomenon that hinders productivity growth causing low tax collection and social security imbalances, among other pervasive effects to any country's economy. This situation is particularly striking in Mexico, where more than 30 million people are working either in not registered firms and/or not have access to social security. Stringent regulation that causes high transaction costs has been regarded as one of the many causes of informality in the labor market. To curb that effect, in 2012 a labor reform in Mexico was passed to improve resolution in labor conflicts, incorporate different ways of contracting, and include productivity as a way to determine job promotions. In this work, I assess if the labor market in Mexico became more flexible due to the reform. I define flexibility as the ability for both workers and firms to match accordingly to their productivity levels. In the presence of lower firing and hiring costs, worker turnover will be higher and employment spells will be shorter. To that purpose, I use labor data collected quarterly through household surveys. The methodological approach is an exponential hazard model and a difference-in-difference analysis. The objective is twofold. First, analyze if there was a change in the duration of employment spells in the formal sector relative to the informal sector. Second, study if the changes affected the employment spells for the youngest workers. For the former, I find that both sectors diminished their duration of employment, although the reduction in the formal sector was higher (of almost 4 months). For the latter, I find no significant change for younger workers. In addition, I study the impact of the reform according to age, education, and sector of the economy. I conclude that the labor reform increased flexibility in the labor markets, although not enough or to the extent needed to create widespread incentives to work in the formal sector. In this sense, additional policies are needed to complement and enhance its effects.
