Resumen
El presente estudio relaciona la competencia de mercado en productos con la informalidad laboral (acceso a seguridad social) en el sector manufacturero mexicano. Con microdatos provenientes de encuestas laborales 1987-2004 y de la encuesta industrial anual se lleva a cabo una estrategia en dos etapas: en la primera, separamos los diferenciales de informalidad de cada industria y, en la segunda, combinamos los datos en un panel para determinar el efecto mayor en la competencia de mercado. Los resultados muestran que la competencia puede incrementar la informalidad dado el actual marco institucional laboral.
