Microeconometric decompositions of aggregate variables: an application to labor informality in Argentina

This paper illustrates the use of microeconometric decomposition techniques to characterize changes in aggregate variables. In particular, I study the effect of changes in the employment structure on the labor informality rate for salaried workers in the Greater Buenos Aires area. To that aim I comp...
