INFORMALITY AND NANO-ENTERPRISES IN PERIMETROPOLITAN AREAS OF MEXICO CITY

This article aims to study the variables that influence the preference for formality or informality of nanoenterprises in the perimetropolitan area of Milpa Alta, Mexico City. For this purpose, a controlled experiment was conducted on 122 individuals, in which the prerogatives of formality were highlighted in order to obtain a transition matrix and three Logit models. The results indicate that 27% of entrepreneurs are willing to transition to formality. Furthermore, as the amount of initial investment increases, the preference for informality decreases, while the preference for formality increases when the individual's level of education corresponds to a bachelor's or engineering degree. Finally, the lower the initial investment, the more complex the informal-formal transition becomes.
