World Development, 2014, vol. 62, issue C, 169-188

Abstract: This paper contributes to the continuing debates on the mechanisms driving labor market informality in developing countries by proposing an innovative way to discriminate between segmented and competitive markets. An empirical analysis is applied to Egyptian paid employment in the highly dynamic context of 1998–2006.
