  abstract = {{I}n spite of its predominant economic weight in developing countries, little is known about the informal sector earnings structure compared to that of the formal sector. {T}aking advantage of the rich {VHLSS} dataset in {V}ietnam, in particular its three wave panel data (2002, 2004, 2006), we assess the magnitude of various formal-informal earnings gaps while addressing heterogeneity at three different levels: the worker, the job (wage employment vs. self-employment) and the earnings distribution. {W}e estimate fixed effects and quantile regressions to control for unobserved individual characteristics. {O}ur results suggest that the informal sector earnings gap highly depends on the workers' job status and on their relative position in the earnings distribution. {P}enalties may in some cases turn into premiums. {B}y comparing our results with studies in other developing countries, we draw conclusions highlighting {V}ietnam's labour market specificity.},
