Understanding the Determinants of Economic Informality in Paraguay

<p></p><p>For several years, the government of Paraguay has sought to address the issue of informality, both as a response to poverty reduction and a means to expand its tax base.&nbsp; While effort has been undertaken to describe informality, the government lacks the capacity and perhaps the will to analyze the phenomenon through a robust empirical lens.&nbsp; Hence, little is known about the informal economy beyond anecdotes, personal interactions, and description.&nbsp;This book is the first to comprehensively, rigorously, and empirically study the determinants of informality in Paraguay.&nbsp; This book is of vital interest to those studying the Paraguayan economy, development economics, Latin American economics, and informality.</p><p></p>
