Variables associated to sales income behavior in the main market squares of Popayán, Colombia
Main Article Content
Abstract
The paper’s objective is to analyze how socioeconomic factors are related, businesses characteristics and institutional aspects with the sales income levels of merchants, both formal and informal, of the market squares of the Bolívar and La Esmeralda neighborhoods of the city of Popayán, Colombia. To do this, a stochastic quantile regression model with logarithms was used. Results show that factors such as gender and age decrease income, but others such as access to formal credits increase them; however, institutional support impacts differently in both market places or squares.
