Resumen En el presente estudio se evalúa en qué medida los contratos de duración determinada sirven de trampolín hacia la contratación indefinida, diferenciando las transiciones intraempresariales de las interempresariales. Tras analizar una base de datos del Perú con información entrecruzada de empresas y trabajadores para el periodo 2012‐2016, se proponen varias medidas de conversión de contratos y se estiman modelos de duración. Se concluye que solo el 7 por ciento de los contratos de duración determinada se convierten en indefinidos y que aproximadamente la mitad de las conversiones tienen lugar en la misma empresa.

The International Initiative for Impact Evaluation (3ie) promotes evidence-informed equitable, inclusive and sustainable development. We support the generation and effective use of highquality evidence to inform decision-making and improve the lives of people living in poverty in low-and middle-income countries. We provide guidance and support to produce, synthesise and quality-assure evidence of what works, for whom, how, why and at what cost. 3ie working papersThese papers cover a range of content. They may focus on current issues, debates and enduring challenges facing development policymakers, programme managers, practitioners, and the impact evaluation and systematic review communities. Policy-relevant papers in this series synthesise or draw on relevant findings from mixed-method impact evaluations and systematic reviews funded by 3ie, as well as other rigorous evidence, to offer new analyses, findings, insights and recommendations. Papers focusing on methods and technical guides also draw on similar sources to help advance understanding, design, and use of rigorous and appropriate evaluations and reviews. 3ie also uses this series to publish lessons learnt from 3ie grant-making. About this working paperThis paper, Transparency and accountability in the extractives sector: a synthesis of what works and what does not, uses evidence from seven rigorous impact evaluations of information disclosure and deliberation interventions in the extractives sector. It discusses the impact of these interventions on increasing citizens' knowledge, awareness, trust, and demand for accountability and civic action, as well as their implications for public service delivery, and environmental and development outcomes.The content of this paper is the sole responsibility of the authors and does not represent the opinions of 3ie, its donors or its board of commissioners.

This study seeks to gauge the extent to which temporary contracts function as stepping stones to permanent contracts and to distinguish intrafirm from interfirm contract conversions. Using 2012–2016 data from a Peruvian matched employer–employee database, the authors propose several measures of contract conversion and estimate duration models. Their findings show that only 7 per cent of fixed‐term contracts are converted and that about half of the conversions occur in the same firm.
