Poverty and informality, a reverse causality dilemma in the Dominican Republic?

Juan Rodríguez Núñez

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: This paper analyzes the reverse causality between poverty and labor informality in the Dominican Republic, generating a profile that encompasses the socioeconomic and demographic factors of individuals to both poverty and labor informality. To that end, the National Labor Force Survey (Encuesta Nacional de Fuerza de Trabajo, ENFT), in the years 2010 and 2016, is used. Also, probabilistic regression models "Probit", with instrumental variables for the identification of causal effects. The results are consistent with previous literature, indicating that both poverty and informality have an explanatory effect on each other. In this sense, both phenomena are concentrated in the least educated groups, especially in rural areas.
