| Abstract: | The estimation of the hidden economy may be considered as a human passion for knowing the unknown. Although a large literature on the hidden economy exists, the subject is still controversial at a very basic level. There are disagreements about: (1) the definition of the hidden activities; (2) the terms used to describe these activities; (3) the estimation or measurement procedures; (4) the use of these estimates in economic analysis. In this paper the author considers only the issues related to estimation, economic and econometric analysis of the hidden economy. |
