In 2013, the Peruvian government established a national labor inspection agency, which was progressively rolled out nationwide. This reform led to a substantial increase in the frequency and severity of fines imposed on formal firms. Despite this heightened enforcement, our analysis using extended two-way fixed effects models finds no significant effects on overall employment levels. Moreover, there is no evidence of changes along either the intensive margin\u2014informal employment within formal firms\u2014or the extensive margin\u2014the share of employment in informal firms. These findings suggest that increased enforcement of labor regulations did not lead to measurable shifts in labor informality or employment outcomes during this period.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">C\u00f3digos JEL: H26, J3, O23, O17<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Cita sugerida:<\/em> Pinto, M.F., Y.
