SME’s registration: Evidence from an RCT in Bangladesh
Authors implemented an information campaign on registration and find that the treatment made firms more aware, but had no impact on registration
Abstract
Firms informality is pervasive in Bangladesh. The authors implemented an information campaign on registration and find that the treatment made firms more aware, but had no impact on registration. Low benefits and high indirect costs appear to be barriers to formality.
