2024.12.19
Labor inspections reduce informality but slow firm growth: inspections mandate formalization and impose fines, causing immediate compliance but long-term stagnation in growth for audited firms in Brazil.

Inspections dampen innovation and dynamism: firms subjected to audits innovate less, with declines in trademark registrations and organizational complexity.
