This paper investigates factors that motivate entrepreneurs to completely operate within informality and the drivers of formal companies to underreport revenues. In particular, this work identifies and organizes the determinants of firm informality through a systematic literature review in Scopus and Web of Science databases. The article presents several contributions. First, it examines the two main frameworks of informality (structuralist/exclusion and legalistic/exit dimensions) and links this with the different roles of unregistered firms in economic development (survival, De Soto, and parasite views). It also studies the theoretical basis of informality, including economic, institutional, psychological, and sociological aspects. Second, the paper summarizes business informality determinants based on studies with different methodological approaches (macro, microeconomic), contexts (developed, emerging, transition economies), and periods (1983-2018). Our results show that firm informality is mostly addressed in the examined literature as a decision or voluntary choice by companies and entrepreneurs (legalistic vision). Third, the article proposes an integral theoretical model, according to which the firm informality level is determined by structural elements (company and entrepreneur’s characteristics) and environmental factors (corruption, bureaucracy, taxes, etc.). The analysis is relevant for researchers studying this subject and for policymakers as well.

Este artículo analiza los factores que motivan a los emprendedores a operar totalmente en la informalidad y a las empresas registradas a subdeclarar ingresos. En particular, este trabajo identifica y organiza los determinantes de la informalidad  empresarial  mediante  una  revisión  sistemática  de  la  literatura  disponible  en  las  bases  de  datos  Scopus  y  Web  of  Science,  con  lo  cual  se  realizan  varias  contribuciones.  En  primer  lugar,  el  estudio  permite  analizar  los  dos  principales  marcos  conceptuales  de  la  informalidad  (estructuralista/exclusión  y  legalista/escape) y vincularlos con los diferentes roles de las firmas no registradas dentro del esquema de desarrollo económico (visiones de supervivencia, De Soto y parásito). Además, examina las bases teóricas, incluyendo aspectos económicos, institucionales, psicológicos y sociológicos. Así mismo, esta investigación sintetiza los determinantes de la informalidad empresarial mediante el análisis de estudios con  diferentes  enfoques  metodológicos  (macro,  microeconómico)  y  realizados  en diferentes contextos (economías desarrolladas, emergentes y en transición) y períodos (1983-2018). Los resultados muestran que la informalidad empresarial es mayormente abordada en la literatura como una decisión o elección voluntaria de las compañías y los emprendedores (visión legalista). Finalmente, se propone un modelo teórico integral según el cual el nivel de informalidad de la empresa resulta determinado por elementos estructurales (características de la firma y el empresario)  y  factores  del  contexto  (corrupción,  burocracia,  impuestos,  etc.).  El  análisis presentado es relevante para los investigadores del área y los hacedores de política pública.

Este artigo pesquisa os fatores que motivam os empreendedores a operar totalmente na informalidade e as empresas registradas a subdeclarar renda. Em particular, este trabalho identifica e organiza os determinantes da informalidade  empresarial  mediante  uma  revisão  sistemática  da  literatura  nas  bases  de  dados  Scopus  e  Web  of  Science.  Este  artigo  apresenta  várias  contribuições.  Primeiro, analisa os dois principais referenciais conceituais da informalidade (estruturalista/exclusão  e  legalista/escape)  e  os  vincula  com  os  diferentes  papéis  das empresas não registradas dentro do esquema de desenvolvimento econômico (visões de sobrevivência, De Soto e parasita). Além disso, analisa as bases teóricas, incluindo  aspectos  econômicos,  institucionais,  psicológicos  e  sociológicos.  Em  seguida,  sintetiza  os  determinantes  da  informalidade  empresarial  mediante  a  análise de estudos com diferentes abordagens metodológicas (macro, microeconômica) e em diferentes contextos (economias desenvolvidas, emergentes e em transição)  e  períodos  (1983-2018).  Os  resultados  mostram  que  a  informalidade  empresarial  é  predominantemente  abordada  na  literatura  analisada  como  uma  decisão ou escolha voluntária de companhias e empreendedores (visão legalista). Finalmente,  é  proposto  um  modelo  teórico  integral  segundo  o  qual  o  nível  de  informalidade da empresa resulta determinado por elementos estruturais (características da empresa e do empresário) e fatores do contexto (corrupção, burocracia, impostos etc.). A análise é relevante para os pesquisadores da área e para os que fazem política pública.
