Abstract
Using geo-referenced data on labor outcomes for the city of Bogotá, we develop a strategy to identify the effect of the neighborhood informality rate on the individual probability of getting an informal job. We found evidence of the existence of such neighborhood effects. Those effects operate differently for salaried informality than for self-employed informality.
