This book brings together two leading researchers in the field to
provide a comprehensive overview of the shadow economy from a
global perspective. Reviewing the advantages and disadvantages of
different ways of measuring the informal sector, the authors
evaluate its size and key determinants across the world. Williams
and Schneider clearly establish the persistence and prevalence of
the shadow economy, analysing the narrowness of existing policy
approaches and explaining how these fail to address the key factors
for its existence and may even exacerbate the problem. Proposing an
alternative way forward, the authors argue that little headway will
ever be made in reducing the shadow economy until there are changes
not only to the character of formal institutions but also informal
institutions (the values, beliefs and norms of citizens) through
the introduction of macro-level structural changes. This timely,
cutting-edge review of the global shadow economy and how it can be
measured and tackled is an invaluable resource for postgraduate
students, researchers and policy-makers, particularly those with a
interest in tax evasion and informal labour.
