Note: Results for the balanced sample of firms mandated to adopt e-invoicing before 2019. The inverse hyperbolic sine transformation is applied to all dependent variables, which are originally measured in constant 2014 Peruvian soles. The treatment indicator is equal to one in the quarter of mandatory e-invoicing adoption and the following four quarters. This treatment indicator is interacted with two dummy variables indicating if a firm had sales lower than 2,300 UIT (about $3 million) or a positive stock of VAT credits in 2013Q2, respectively. All specifications include quarter fixed effects, firm-specific trends and controls for the effects in the fifth and following quarters after the date of mandatory e-invoicing adoption. Appendix Table A.9, Table A.10 additionally shows estimates with these controls. Firm-clustered standard errors are shown in brackets. ∗ 0.10, ∗∗ 0.05, ∗∗∗ 0.01.
