Measuring the Dynamics of Informality: A Panel FAVAR Approach

No âmbito do Projeto INSEAI, o CEOS.PP acolhe o webinar Measuring the Dynamics of Informality: A Panel FAVAR Approach, dedicado à apresentação de uma metodologia inovadora para a economia informal.

O webinar, que se realiza no dia 16 de julho, às 16h00, na Sala Nobre do CEOS.PP e em formato online, será orientado por Javier Baquero Pérez e Daniel Fernández Romero. Durante a sessão, será apresentada uma abordagem baseada no modelo de Panel Factor-Augmented Vector Autoregression (Panel FAVAR). Este modelo permite estimar a economia informal não observada, integrando múltiplos indicadores observáveis ao longo do tempo e em diferentes países. Esta metodologia capta a dinâmica latente da atividade económica informal, conciliando a heterogeneidade entre economias com a identificação de fatores comuns. O modelo permite também uma análise mais complexa das respostas da economia a choques de políticas públicas, tornando-o uma ferramenta valiosa para monitorizar tendências na informalidade e avaliar as suas implicações macroeconómicas.
