Abstract

En este documento se exploran, en un contexto experimental, el impacto de dos intervenciones dirigidas a incentivar la formalización empresarial en Bogotá, Colombia, y el impacto de la formalización sobre varias dimensiones de desempeño de los negocios. El diseño experimental de la evaluación permite establecer relaciones de causalidad y avanzar sobre lo aprendido hasta ahora en esta literatura. Encontramos que uno de los programas que actualmente emplea la Cámara de Comercio de Bogotá (CCB), entidad a cargo del registro que hace formal a un negocio en Colombia, para incentivar la formalización no tiene ningún efecto sobre la decisión de formalización, mientras que el otro sí tiene un efecto muy importante. Encontramos también que la decisión de formalización impacta positivamente en los ingresos operacionales y los activos de las firmas, pero no afecta el empleo, el acceso al crédito, ni la rentabilidad de los negocios.
