Abstract
ANTIPA CASTILLO, CAMILA; MORALES SOTO, RODRIGO and FERRADA BORQUEZ, LUZ MARÍA. Estimation of production functions in informal microenterprises in the city of Osorno, Chile. estud.gerenc. [online]. 2012, vol.28, n.124, pp.107-123. ISSN 0123-5923.
This report identifies the production functions in informal microenterprises in the urban area of Osorno, Chile. The methodology consisted of designing an input-output matrix based on the history of the purchasing structure at informal enterprises in the city. The matrix was adjusted for the purposes of this research. It analyzes the productive structure and the value added components of the trade, services, and manufacturing industries. Although these are very different sectors, the findings demonstrate that there are no significant differences in the composition of the added value and that the loss of taxes, because of the informal condition of these companies, is not relevant to the surplus.
Keywords : Informal economy; local economy; input-output; microenterprise; added value.
