Resumen

Este estudio examina la posible influencia de la formalización de cooperativas de mujeres en la economía informal de Jordania. Al mismo tiempo, para producir evidencia empírica desde una perspectiva teórica se estudia cómo afectan los desafíos cruciales de la economía informal a la formalización. Se trata de un estudio empírico tanto descriptivo como inferencial en el que se emplean varias bases de datos para extraer los datos relevantes de la muestra de 66 cooperativas de mujeres jordanas en el periodo de 2011 a 2020. Se utiliza un modelo de datos de panel dinámico para las variables de estudio con control de efectos fijos específicos. Los hallazgos indican que la política de formalización en el sector cooperativo no afecta la economía informal. Por el contrario, los desafíos afectan significativamente a la economía informal.
