Sommario/riassunto

This paper investigates the implications of lowering formal regulations in labor and product  markets on informality and macroeconomic outcomes in India. We estimate a DSGE model  with an informal sector, and rigidities in the formal labor and product markets. Along with  increasing GDP and employment, deregulation also leads to lower informality and greater  product market competition. Slow reallocation of resources between the formal and informal  sectors leads to some adverse impacts in the short run that can be minimized by  implementing a combined package of reforms. These impacts are shown to be greater in an  economy with a larger informal sector.
