| Abstract: | | The relationship between corruption and the shadow economy is not clear. Theoretically, they either substitute or complement each other -exhibiting either a negative or positive relationship. This paper -using a structural equation model with two latent variables - extracts information on various dimensions of corruption and the shadow economy to contribute to the debate on their relationship. It presents empirical evidence of a positive relationship between the shadow economy and corruption. The results show that the shadow economy influences corruption more than corruption influences the shadow economy. |
