This book contributes to the current debates on the shadow economy
and related issues of tax evasion and corruption. The approach
taken here is one that will develop a better understanding of these
related issues, which are increasingly seen as impediments to
country competitiveness and economic growth. Economists and
policymakers are increasingly focused on how the shadow economy
operates. The contributors discuss how effective corporate
governance may help to reduce both the occurrence and effects of
illegal activities. The book begins by considering institutional
governance and how issues such as economic growth and development
can be better understood by gaining a deeper understanding of the
decision-making process. The importance of collective persuasion
and collective decision-making in an institutional context is
illustrated. The remainder of the work details a series of
empirical studies outlining the role of governance and
institutional capacity in assessing economic performance, the role
of political competition in reducing corruption and measures of,
and influences on, corruption in different countries around the
world. Institutions such as the WTO, World Bank and the IMF will
find much to engage them in this book as will policy makers in
government and research policy agencies. It will also hold great
appeal to academics (postgraduate and above) in the fields of
political economy, economic development and international
economics.
