Title: An empyrical analysis of the informal sector in Argentina
Abstract: Informality is a widespread phenomenon. In countries like Argentina over a third of its total output is produced in the informal sector.  Effects of informality on growth are diverse and are very well documented. By testing the channels through which corruption and firm size affect the size of the informal sector, I find a reciprocal relationship between informality and corruption and a U-shape relationship between informality and firm size. I believe these results reveal important insights for the design of policies aimed at reducing the share of unreported sales.
