  1. The rows (firm size by informality measure) do not sum to exactly 100% in a few cases due to rounding. Bold numbers: This is the grouping where the informality measure in question "agrees" with the firm size measure in terms of the informality classification--so the closer this number is to 100, the greater the agreement (and vice versa)
