Chapter 7 in Tax Evasion and the Black Economy, 1989, pp 130-152 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract So far two major issues have been examined. First, how large is the black economy? and second, what leads people to become involved in the black economy? It should be clear that economists have invested a great deal of effort to answering these questions. This chapter looks at the consequences of such illicit activity. So far, this is an area of the subject that has received much less attention, but there are signs that this may be changing.
