Abstract
El objetivo principal de esta tesis doctoral, Transición hacia la formalidad de las micro y pequeñas empresas: una aproximación del entorno institucional y sus niveles, es profundizar en el conocimiento de cómo el entorno institucional en sus diferentes esferas (macro, micro y meso) afectan la decisión del micro y pequeño empresario en la transición hacia la formalidad en países emergentes. La literatura ha analizado ampliamente el macroentorno institucional, especialmente el efecto de la burocracia, y la mayor parte de la evidencia ha considerado una decisión binaria el hecho de convertirse en empresa formal. Se ha prestado escasa atención al estudio de los niveles de formalidad cuando, en la realidad, el proceso hacia la formalidad puede ser algo gradual. En este sentido, cobran especial relevancia las percepciones de los empresarios sobre los trámites que han realizado y que deben completar para conseguir formalizar totalmente su empresa. Con respecto al análisis del microentorno, que establece que la decisión de formalización viene determinada por las características del individuo y de la empresa, se hará hincapié en el estudio del género que apenas ha sido analizado. En países emergentes, cada vez hay más mujeres que optan por ser empresarias y deben decidir si permanecen en la informalidad o dan el paso a la formalidad. Y, desde el nivel del mesoentorno institucional, es escasa la literatura que analiza la influencia del entorno más cercano del empresario en su decisión de ser formal. Casi no hay evidencia del efecto contagio que puede tener la informalidad proveniente de regiones cercanas con elevadas tasas de informalidad y corrupción...
The main objective of this doctoral thesis, “Transition towards the formality of micro and small companies: an approach of the institutional environment and its levels”, is to deepen the knowledge of how the institutional environment in its different spheres (macro, micro, and meso) affect the decision of the micro and small entrepreneur in the transition to formality in emerging countries. The literature has extensively analyzed the institutional macroenvironment, especially the effect of bureaucracy, and most of the evidence has considered a binary decision to become a formal company. Little attention has been paid to studying levels of formality when, of sure, the process towards formality may be somewhat gradual. In this sense, the perceptions of entrepreneurs about the procedures they have carried out and which they must complete to fully formalize their company are particularly relevant. Concerning the analysis of the microenvironment, which establishes that the formalization decision is determined by the characteristics of the individual and the company, emphasis will be placed on the study of gender, which has hardly been analyzed. In emerging countries, more and more women choose to be entrepreneurs and must decide whether to remain informal or to move to formality. And, from the level of the institutional meso-environment, there is little literature that analyzes the influence of the employer's closest environment on his decision to be formal. There is almost no evidence of the contagion effect that informality can have from nearby regions with high rates of informality and corruption...
