Abstract:
Este texto tiene como objetivo general analizar el papel de la economía informal en dos países de América Latina, a saber, México y Guatemala. Dentro de los objetivos específicos, se establece realizar un perfil socioeconómico de las áreas de estudio, así como analizar los factores económicos y sociales que inciden en el crecimiento de la economía informal. La hipótesis que se trabaja en esta investigación es que la informalidad en economías como las de México y Guatemala reproduce la pobreza y absorbe la mano de obra. Asimismo, a través del modelo de análisis factorial, se identifican los factores económicos y sociales que inciden en el crecimiento de la economía informal en ambas economías. Estos factores son los siguientes: las políticas públicas implementadas por parte de los Gobiernos en ambas economías, el desempleo, los niveles de pobreza, la falta de capacitación, los niveles bajos de educación, el sector formal de la economía que se apoya en la informalidad para que distribuyan sus recursos, la falta de apoyos por parte del Gobierno y la falta de financiamiento para registrarse en la formalidad.

Abstract:
We address the trends in the incorporation of the Guatemalan workforce in the Mexico-Guatemala Crossborder Region (MGCR). Through quantitative methodology, 22 Mexican border municipalities are studied, and the microdata of the 2010 Population Census and the 2015 Intercensal Survey of INEGI are processed. It is observed that people of Guatemalan origin are initially engaged in agricultural activities, although due to the precarity in the Mexican countryside in the last decade, they have been linked mainly to informal activities and jobs in the service sector. The article provides empirical data to understand the phenomenon analyzed in the border municipalities as a whole. Even with the limitations of census sources, the study shows the relationship between job insecurity and the non-formal productive structures that prevail, as well as the economic and political-administrative asymmetries between the states in question.

Abstract:
A quantitative framework of firm dynamics is developed where the size of the informal sector is determined by financial constraints and the burden of taxation. Improving access to credit for formal sector firms increases aggregate total factor productivity and output while reducing the size of the informal sector. Introducing size-dependent taxes reduces the gains from financial development as they incentivize firms to produce at a relatively limited scale. The aggregate effects of eliminating formal sector registration costs are positive but modest relative to previous theoretical models and the gains generated by financial development, and consistent with empirical evidence based on micro-level data.

Abstract:
This thesis analyzes the estimation procedures and policy implications of an underground economy. In completing this task, we reviewed the techniques developed by Gutmann, Ferge, Tanzi, and others. Further attention was also given to the estimation processes, such as the survey approaches, used by various governments.
In analyzing the policy implications of an underground economy, we examined the effects of fiscal and monetary policy, the aggregate statistics, the exchange rate, and other equally important indicators. We concluded that the consequences of a large and growing submerged sector can be devastating to the economic variables.
Finally, this paper attempts to examine the Canadian underground economy. However, since the studies performed on the Canadian underground economy are limited, the task of both reviewing the literature, and determining the Canadian policy implications was perplexing. We concluded that there is a definite need for further study of the Canadian hidden sector.

Abstract:
In spite of the fact that informal traders in the informal economy are viewed as having the greatest prospects for creating jobs and absorbing the unemployed in developing countries, informal traders in Limpopo Province in general, and the city of Polokwane in particular, face various constraints that negatively affect them on a daily basis. The aim of the study has been to explore the constraints and opportunities of informal traders, using the city of Polokwane as a case study. The study has attempted to identify and describe constraints that affect informal traders in the Polokwane city, as well as factors that can enhance their development and growth. The study is exploratory, descriptive and qualitative in nature. Semi-structured faceto-face interviews were conducted to gather data. Findings of the study suggest that the government should improve the effectiveness of its support mechanisms by initiating targeted support programmes specifically tailored for informal traders at the survivalist level.

Abstract:

Financial services to the poor are seen as a principal way to achieve goals of poverty reduction and job creation. This study explores the dynamic of microcredit clients with informal sector characteristics.

These characteristics include number of employees, registration status, having a permanent address, being based at home, being based in an open space, operating from a temporary place, and government support of businesses. In recent years, the informal sector on the West Bank has grown to become a major source of job creation for poor Palestinians. Using data collected by the author, this study finds that a majority of the responding microcredit clients are in the informal sector and some of them use microcredit to create a job for themselves because they had no alternative. There is some interest directed towards formal registration from lenders and borrowers, while general progress, in terms of formalization, is found to be fairly insignificant. Finally, we do not find that microcredit increases the probability of less informal sector characteristics acknowledged by microcredit clients. Therefore, while other factors may explain lack of formalization, microcredit is found not to provide enough stimulus on its own to lead questionnaire respondents away from the informal sector.

Abstract:
Bibliography: leaves 158-177.
The aim of the thesis is to use a particular set of informal sellers in central Cape Town to focus study on aspects of informal sellers that have not previously been given high priority in analysis of the informal economic sector. In so doing, insight into the perceptions of informal sellers (in terms of their work or informal selling situation) and an evaluation of the relationships between informal sellers, the formal sector and government authorities will be gleaned. The work is based on, and extends, data provided by an in-depth Cape Town City Council survey conducted in 1985. The specific objectives of the study are, firstly, to provide comparisons on the number of informal selling outlets over a one year time period. Secondly, to identify and analyse the characteristics and locations of informal selling outlets. Thirdly, to investigate and analyse the operation of the different types of informal selling outlets in some detail. In particular, the backward and forward linkages affecting such outlets will be the focus of attention. In addition, it is intended to establish the attitudes of the formal sector and government authorities towards informal sellers, and vice versa.

Abstract:
El seguimiento a la coyuntura macroeconómica y financiera de las economías centroamericanas ha adquirido cada vez mayor importancia con la expansión de la banca colombiana hacia estos países en los últimos años, particularmente marcada en los casos de Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Panamá y Nicaragua. Las condiciones macroeconómicas de los países con presencia cada vez mayor de conglomerados financieros colombianos adquiere relevancia en el estudio de estabilidad financiera para el país, así como para identificar las principales vulnerabilidades a las que se enfrentan estos establecimientos y diseñar escenarios de estrés. La vulnerabilidad macroeconómica que puede presentarse en los indicadores de actividad económica y crecimiento, en las cifras fiscales y de deuda pública, en el sector externo, en la inflación, y en distintos indicadores financieros, se presenta a través de una escala de color en la primera sección del presente informe. En este sentido, se presenta tanto la evolución en el tiempo de la vulnerabilidad en cada una de estas dimensiones para cada país, así como una comparación entre ellos para 2020, 2021 y 2022, con el objetivo de identificar los mayores riesgos en la región. A partir de esto, se identifican como desafíos para Centroamérica la persistencia de vulnerabilidad fiscal desde 2019, y de vulnerabilidad financiera en 2021, así como vulnerabilidades particulares como las de Costa Rica y Guatemala en actividad económica, las de El Salvador, Panamá, Costa Rica y Honduras en vulnerabilidad externa, y las de Nicaragua, El Salvador y Honduras en lo relacionado a inflación. Para cada uno de estos casos, se identifica también la evolución en el tiempo para cada una de las dimensiones, buscando identificar aquellas dimensiones en las que los países tienen los mayores desafíos para reducir la vulnerabilidad y en cuáles se consiguieron los mayores avances hasta la llegada de la pandemia y posterior a esta. Del mismo modo, se busca identificar los retrocesos en vulnerabilidad ocasionados con la pandemia, que fueron mayores en las dimensiones real y fiscal en 2020, así como los retrocesos ocasionados por la coyuntura internacional de 2021, que fueron particularmente marcados en las dimensiones monetaria y financiera. En línea con este análisis, la segunda sección del informe busca presentar el contexto macroeconómico de cada uno de los países de interés en lo relacionado a actividad económica, cifras fiscales y de inflación a partir de fuentes oficiales. Esta sección busca identificar algunos de los mayores desafíos para cada uno de los países, como sucede en lo fiscal Costa Rica, Honduras, Panamá y Nicaragua, la inflación para El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua y Honduras y lo externo para Costa Rica. Adicionalmente se realiza un análisis de los principales indicadores financieros de Centroamérica y Colombia con el fin de evaluar la situación de los establecimientos de crédito. En particular, se analiza el comportamiento de la cartera bruta real, la gestión de riesgo, la eficiencia, el margen de intermediación ex­­-post y el ROA entre junio del 2021 y junio de 2022.

Abstract:
This document provides guidance on the integration of gender and diversity considerations into applied research in economics focusing on countries in which the informal sector is predominant. It draws inspiration from the support given to the West African research centres involved in researching solutions to the socioeconomic challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, particularly the livelihoods of vulnerable groups and the informal sector. The document was written with the assistance of the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and is intended to be a guide to applied research. Section 1 sets out the principal orientations of gender analyses. Section 2 examines how, in practice, considerations of gender and diversity are integrated into the design and formulation of statistical and qualitative surveys, and into their descriptive and logistic analyses. Section 3 contains a brief compilation of the resources available on gender, the informal economy, and the Covid-19 pandemic.
