Many governments have lower taxes and simplifiy regulatory requirements as a way to reduce the number of small firms operating in an informal manner. However, the impact has been slim. We postulate that the informal networks in which many of these firms operate can explain this result. To support our claim, we first build a theoretical model to describe why informality not only depends on the regulatory costs. Next, we use the 2012 Mexican National Survey of Microenterprises to show that its financial networks, and how formal its commercial partners are--once potential endogeneity is acounted for--features that are correlated with how firms are managed. While those that wish to avoid the administrative and/or financial burden of regulation may well be induced to become more formal if regulatory costs are reduced, for many others it is not necessarily regulatory costs, but rather, the benefits to be reaped by becoming formal.

In Mexico, around 200,000 enterprises are created every year, however, only 35% of them survive after two years of operations. Among the main causes of this problem, we can find the lack of access to financing, labor force with no skills and deficient information about market opportunities. Two strategies commonly used by enterprises are training of its associates and the participation in associations like the National Network of Sustainable Rural Development (Rendrus). The main objective of this study was to identify the success factors of rural microenterprises that produce cactus leaves processed products in the State of Tlaxcala, Mexico, which participated in meetings with Rendrus. The research technique of "Case Studies" was applied to interview to participants in three enterprises. The results show that enterprises have survived in the market because of their social capital, as the main factor of success, manifested trough their organizational process, compromise, dedication, and solidarity that allowed them to face limitations in availability of technology, problems of marketing and commercialization, low levels of sales and limited schemes of innovation.

Business competitiveness has long been a subject of study and debate in the economic literature, which has pointed to various drivers of business development. Drawing on the Industrial Economics, the New Industrial Economics, and the Theory of Resources and Capabilities approaches, this paper sets forth a panel data econometric model with 2 671 Mexican micro-enterprises over four time periods, detailing the relationship between the competitive advantages of micro-enterprises and external and internal factors, such as the sectoral structure and the tangible and intangible assets of the economic unit. The principal results obtained suggest that the synergies needed for the development of the small-scale productive sector are primarily generated by way of intangible capabilities.

In this paper it is recognized that the main concepts mentioned (labor market, employment, work, wage, informal sector, precarious job, micro-enterprise, ambulatory commerce and feminine work) are not deeply analyzed, because this document is part of a larger research project called "Woman and affective work: another aspect of informality" from which there are already some sub-products that deal with the referred concepts in depth. This is why, in this article we just analyzed the affective work genesis and the conceptual interrelations inherent to such analytical category. Evidently, this is done with the aim to respond to the goals established by the project of creating a theoretical net that will allow us to get closer to the reality expressed by some of the concrete practices of woman labor force typified as effective work in the Federal District of Mexico.

The paper discusses the conditions for microenterprises to remain in the market. The analysis demonstrates that microenterprises facing tight constraints may remain in the market only if they are capable of achieving increasing returns and economies of scale that shift down their average cost curves towards more competitive levels. This finding is supported by the analysis of a sample of 95 Mexican microenterprises, and by the estimation of a production optimization model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Micro, small and medium enterprises are very important in economy at national and regional level, in industrializes countries and also in those with less development like Mexico. Nevertheless, the owners of these economic entitles have not access to credit and, in many times, they need use informal sources that put them in worst situation. The paper present the most important figures about mexican micro, small and medium enterprises located in Pacific states and describes five financial sources (governmental and NGOs [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
