TAX EVASION AND THE SIZE OF UNDERGROUND ECONOMY: A THEORETICAL AND EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATION

Lucian Albu ()

Journal for Economic Forecasting, 2001, issue 1, 16-31

Abstract: The author investigates here the impact of taxes on the size of the underground economy. Starting from the reference model of Allingham and Sandmo (1972), he derives three other sub-models from which it constructs a general model. The author used this model to evaluate the limits between which the underground economy can be placed.
