In this paper we assess the relationship between labor policies and market outcomes in Bolivia, accounting for a large informal sector mostly comprised of self-employed entrepreneurs. We calibrate a job search and matching model to reproduce labor market features in 2013, a period in which important labor policy changes were simultaneously active for the first time. We focus on some effects of three specific policies namely a 14th salary, minimum wage increases and contributions to a ‘solidary pension fund’ on the sorting of workers between unemployment, formal and informal employment, as well as on the formal wage schedule.
Keywords: Labor markets; matching models; informality; labor policies; JEL Classification: J08, J38, J46
En este documento analizamos la relación entre algunas políticas laborales y resultados del mercado laboral en Bolivia, prestando atención particular a la existencia de un amplio sector informal. Calibramos un modelo de búsqueda y emparejamiento para reproducir las características del mercado en 2013, periodo en el que tres recientes políticas laborales estuvieron vigentes simultáneamente por primera vez. Analizamos algunos de los efectos en el desempleo, la informalidad en el mercado y la distribución de salarios en el sector formal generados por el “Doble Aguinaldo”, el incremento del salario mínimo y las contribuciones obligatorias al “Fondo Solidario”.
Palabras clave: Mercados de trabajo; modelos de emparejamiento; informalidad; políticas laborales; Clasificación JEL: J08, J38, J46
