We calibrate a job search and matching model to reproduce labor market features in 2013, a period in which important labor policy changes were simultaneously active for the first time. We focus on some effects of three specific policies namely a 14th salary, minimum wage increases and contributions to a ‘solidary pension fund’ on the sorting of workers between unemployment, formal and informal employment, as well as on the formal wage schedule.}, number={1}, journal={Estudios de Economía}, author={Nogales, Ricardo and Córdova, Pamela and Urquidi, Manuel}, year={2019}, month={Mar.}, pages={61–87} }
