| This study seeks to econometrically estimate the impact of social conformism on the will of managers to register their businesses. The data used is from the Second Employment and Informal Sector Survey (EESI 2) carried out in 2010 on 3560 micro and small Cameroonian businesses. Using an instrumental variable probit model, we find a positive and significant endogenous effect. However, we find that the social pressure which brings businesses to conformism acts only beyond a given threshold. |
