What is it about?

Electricity consumption is also used to gauge macroeconomic informality that varies greatly across regions with no geographic advantage in reducing it. Unlike prior research, persistent regional technical inefficiency is found that has little impact on reducing informality but may help reducing corruption.

Why is it important?

Perspectives

I hope that regional policies supporting returns to human capital accumulation being better kept by workers while technical inefficiency is reduced are recommended.
