Aplicación del modelo factorial para identificar las causas y efectos del comercio informal.

Abstract

The objective of the research determines the causes and effects of informal trade in the case of Ecuador - City of Riobamba. It uses the inductive method as a methodology, it is of a causal - statistical level. The population corresponds to 3,600 merchants and the survey is applied to a sample of 310. The multivariate factorization and linear regression analysis is applied. The results of the research show that the relationship of informal trade activity is not significant with the variables, such as marital status, age, economic income and educational level. Likewise, it is determined through the factorial analysis, the prices of the products, the migration, the payment of taxes, the basic necessities, the availability of public spaces, the factors that affect the activity although they are not observed as determining variables. Therefore, it is concluded that informal trade is related to the general characteristics of the population and commercial activity; and generates as a consequence the reduction in tax collection
