Abstract

Este documento muestra evidencia empírica reciente de los efectos de corto plazo de ajustes en la Remuneración Mínima Vital (RMV) sobre dos variables reales del mercado laboral, empleo e informalidad. Estos efectos son obtenidos a través modelos probabilísticos de diferencias en diferencias. Los resultados señalan que si bien no existe efecto alguno en términos agregados, cuando la muestra se desagrega por rangos de ingresos, existe un impacto negativo sobre el empleo y un efecto positivo sobre los niveles de informalidad para algunos de estos rangos salariales. Si bien se demuestra la existencia de un efecto neto negativo sobre el empleo, este resultado tiene dos componentes que actúan de forma opuesta. Por un lado, existe un impacto negativo sobre el empleo formal, el cual es contrarrestado, más no compensado, por un impacto positivo sobre el empleo informal. Estos efectos implican un traslado parcial de la fuerza laboral proveniente del sector formal al informal para aquellos asalariados con ingresos relativamente cercanos al nivel de la RMV. Clasificación JEL: J08, J38
