In this book the author systematically studies the underground
economy to examine how certain types of economic analysis can be
applied to tax evaders. Tax scams involving the rich and famous
make eye-catching news copy. They also are part of a significant
and growing economic problem - the "shadow economy" that defrauds
the government. Frank Cowell is one of the worlds leading
contributors to the theoretical economic analysis of tax evasion.
In this book he systematically studies the underground economy to
examine how certain types of economic analysis can be applied to
tax evaders. He also recommends measures that can be taken to
counteract the problem.Cowell's investigation raises questions that
go to the heart of public economics and reveals the shortcomings of
applying standard economic models of crime to tax evasion. He
develops an analytical framework that shows how the underground
economy grows and suggests simple economic mechanisms that will
induce the behavior that leads to tax evasion.Having laid the
analytical groundwork, Cowell turns to policy. He observes that
standard welfare-based arguments against cheating are "decidedly
flaccid" and points toward an enforcement policy that is informed
by economic analysis, particularly in terms of scope and
practicality.
