  • Survey of the shadow economy in Slovenia [Elektronski vir]
    Nastav, Bojan ; Bojnec, Štefan
    In the paper we deal with the phenomenon of the shadow economy in Slovenia, where we use the direct approach of measuring/estimating/studying the phenomenon: the survey of the shadow economy. In the ... paper we refrain from debating about the definition and the contents of the phenomenon itself. Nevertheless we follow the shadow economy being defined as the productive activities whose products are legal but the production itself is deliberately concealed from authorities. In this line we put forward the results of the unique survey of the shadow economy in Slovenia conducted in 2007, stating that: (1) the production side takes place in notoriously known activities suchas agriculture, manufacturing, construction, trade and repair of motor vehicles, tourism, and other personal services; (2) the participants vary to some degree with respect to gender and education; (3) the shadow economy in Slovenia accounts to around 15 percent of the GDP; (4) the productivity in the shadow economy is on average 3 percent higher than in the official economy; (5) the demand side is an autonomous side of the shadow economy, yet to a greater extent in line with the production side with respect to participants and a somewhat lower degree with respect to the goods/services purchased in the shadow economy; and finally (6) we propose that the policy of reducing the shadow economy is better to be focused on the production side in the sense of improving entrepreneurial environment and governments' effortsto channel entrepreneurial activities from the shadow economy into the official one.
