| dc.description | Más del 60% de los empleados del mundo trabajan en la economía informal. Una de las razones por las que las empresas permanecen en la informalidad es la duración y el costo del proceso de formalización. En este documento exploro si ayudar en el proceso de formalización podría reducir la informalidad en el sector minero en Colombia. El estudio es un experimento controlado aleatorio con minas informales de carbón y oro. Después de dos años de tratamiento, el tratamiento de asistencia para la formalización no aumentó las tasas de formalización y la deserción fue alta. Sin embargo, el tratamiento aumentó los ingresos de los mineros pero no los gastos, lo que sugiere que los mineros están ahorrando más, posiblemente para los costos de titulación. La alta deserción y el tratamiento fallido resaltan las dificultades de formalizar el sector minero. | |
| dc.description.abstract | More than 60\% of global employees work in the informal economy. One of the reasons that firms remain in informality is the length and cost of the formalization process. I explore whether assisting in the formalization process could reduce informality in the mining sector in Colombia. The study is a randomized control trial with informal coal and gold mines. After two years of treatment, the formalization assistance treatment did not increase formalization rates, and attrition was high. However, the treatment increased miners' income but not expenses, suggesting the miners are saving more, possibly for the titling costs. The high attrition and unsuccessful treatment highlight the difficulties of formalizing the mining sector. | |
